A MAN who was "hurt" that his grandchildren did not visit him more was entitled to leave them only £50 each from his £500,000 fortune, a judge has ruled.
Frederick Ward snr died in 2020, splitting almost all of his estate between his children Terry Ward and Susan Wiltshire - with his dead son Fred jnr's five adult children being handed just £50 each in envelopes.
Mr Ward snr, 91 when he died, told his legal representatives he was "disappointed" as he had not been visited by Fred's children while in hospital three times with a lung condition.
But the five - sisters Carol Gowing, Angela St Marseille, Amanda Higginbotham, Christine Ward and Janet Pett - claimed they should get their late dad's third share of their grandfather's money.
