Contesting a will as next of kin
My dad died and in his will left all his money to someone he has never met who lives overseas. We were estranged at the time of his death and were never particularly close as he left when I was still a child.
He has no partner or dependents, and I am his legal next of kin. The will does not explicitly state i am not to inherit anything. It just doesnt mention me at all.
How much of a case do I need to have to contest the will successfully? Is it enough that I am his next od kin?
