Mother left china, delph and cutlery to her daughters; €3.8m in assets to her sons

A mother bequeathed in her will her china, delph and cutlery to her three daughters along with €5,000 each - and the remaining €3.8m of assets in her estate amongst her three sons.

Now, one of the sons - the eldest, who is a 53-year-old married father of two - has successfully challenged the will in the High Court after he had received only a tiny fraction of the €3.8m estate.
