Slightly odd inheritance question...AIBU?216

Yesterday 23:33Jpr95

Well it's not quite an AIBU because I don't think I'm entitled to anything here legally but just in case I thought it might be worth asking the question!

So, my parent was married, left their spouse, some years later met my other parent and had me. But never divorced their spouse.

Both my parents died a few years ago. I've been researching my family tree in lockdown and discovered that the spouse died last year apparently with no next of kin. From what I've been able to find out of where they lived, it seems they were quite wealthy.

I don't think I have any entitlement here do I? Rationally I feel not, but then again I can't help wondering about it. It could be a life-changing amount of money.

Do I need to just forget about it all and stop daydreaming about possible inheritances? Or is it worth me making some enquiries with the government legal dept (think that's what they're called, the body who deal with estates of those with no family). Talk some sense to me please!

If (s)he was trying to take the money from someone else who'd actually known the deceased ex I'd agree. Since there seems to be no will it'd just go to the government so I can't fault her for trying.

I think it's very wrong

If I was married to batman then he left me but never divorced me, changed his name to superman, met someone else and had a daughter i really don't think that daughter should have any claim to my money. (I do not find batman or superman attractive)

OP didn't know the woman, shes going after money from her dads ex. Takes a special kind of entitled to do that

I like how the OP was trying to make out she was just curious whilst obviously really bloody wanting the money.
