Wills

She is not entitled to her mothers share but a share would be an acknowledgement of your daughters importance.

Oops wrong forum

I’m so sorry, it must be hard for you.
Was your daughter married? If so I believe your daughters husband would inherit.
But you need to change your will now.

First of all I am so sorry for your loss Babzi. I’m not legally qualified, but as far as I understand, it’s not automatic that your grand daughter will inherit her mother’s share. Have you written your will ? If not, you now need to write a new will.

If you do change your will, change it so that all other bequests go to grandchildren if children pre decease you.

That is what my mum did David to make sure her grandchildren benefited and not the son in law.
So sorry you have lost you daughter Babzi.
Make a new will so you grandaughter benefits.

Unless you change your will the money left to your daughter will go to your grand daughter, it deoends on how the will is written.

If you have concerns speak to a solicitor and get proper advice.

You can rewrite and change your will as often as you like.

My daughter was unmarried and separated from her long term partner before she died. I want to make sure my granddaughter receives her share

It may be time to update your will - or at least have the wording checked to ensure that your wishes are followed.
