“The long running saga of Ilott v Mitson would now seem to be at an end following the Court of Appeal’s recent landmark decision. Having determined back in 2011 that Mrs Ilott was entitled to a share of her late mother’s estate which had been left to three charities, the Court of Appeal has now ordered that Mrs Ilott receive approximately one third of her mother’s £486,000 estate.
