Fisherman's Friend tycoon Doreen Lofthouse dies aged 91 - BBC News Doreen Lofthouse disinherits her son: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10113989/Doreen-Lofthouse-mastermind-Fishermans-Friends-lozenges-leaves-41m-fortune-will.html Now he is running the Fisherman's Friend brand, so I guess he is all right. This is an interesting ploy by people which I will never understand, Daniel Craig also announcing his kids will get nothing when he goes. Of course, all these people are doing in the main is enriching the lives of strangers rather than their families. I guess if there is no incentive to care for your folks in their old age rather than just love (a commodity least valued in this society), they can let their money get them out of bed in the middle of the night, pick them up off the floor when they fall, yadayada. So lots of people working for charities will now be able not only to do a lot of good, but also live in a big house themselves, with a lovely increase in salary, etc etc. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It bypasses inheritance tax so makes more sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Scotland, you can't disinherit your kids outright. As I say, I think all you do is make a lot of other families and their kids richer. But it's their money, they can do what they like.
