Left out of husband’s will, 83-year-old Sikh widow in UK wins court battle; to get property worth Rs 9.8 crore

London, February 17

An 83-year-old Sikh woman, whose late husband of 66 years left her out of his will, has won a high court battle in London for a share of an estate worth more than 1 million euros (Rs 9.8 crore).

Karnail Singh, who died in 2021, left nothing for wife Harbans Kaur and four daughters, as he handed all of his 1.2 million euros estate to his two sons, The Guardian reported.

Justice Peel heard that Singh, who wrote in his will in 2005, “wished to leave his estate solely down the male line”.

Kaur, who married Singh in 1955, estimated the estate to be worth 1.9 million euros gross but one of her sons put the value at 1.2 million euros, the court was told.
