Lawyer’s ex-wife claims will was not valid

THE former wife of a wealthy English lawyer told a court yesterday she did not believe he would have made a will leaving nothing of his multi-million pound estate to her or her children.

Gloria Sherrington was giving evidence in a High Court bid to have the will that left everything to the second wife declared invalid.

Yvonne Sherrington, Richard Sherrington’s widow, sat in court facing the first Mrs Sherrington, as she told Mr Justice Lightman that her former husband was “a man of honour who believed in his obligations”.
