    Hello Sir,
    I want to ask what was the decision passed by judge in the case of Re Sigsworh does that mean the son did not carry the right to heir as the word heir had wide meanings.
    Many thanks

    It’s not the wide number of meanings which was the issue.

    the Intestate Estates Act specified that, where parents die intestate ( without leaving a will ) then the estate should pass to the next of kin – in this case, the son.

    But that would result in an absurd situation where, by murdering your parents, you would inherit their wealth and it’s wrong that you should benefit from an illegal act
