Mother leaves fortune to animal charities
A mother left everything she had to animal charities after falling out with her only daughter over the naming of her child.
Melita Jackson decided to write her daughter out of her £486,000 (RM 2.4mil) will after she called her fifth child Ellen – the name of a sister-in-law Jackson did not like.
Heather Ilott, 50, who says her mother did not even support the charities, is challenging the will in the Court of Appeal.
John Collins, representing Ilott, said, "It is a picture of irrationality. It was not because she supported the charities, but simply out of spite."
Ilott first fell out with her mother in the late 1970s after leaving the family home in the middle of the night to live with her boyfriend and his parents when she was only 17.
