Sister wins £2m inheritance fight after CAT knocks over pile of papers in solicitor's office to uncover her dead brother's will that had been lost for two decades
****************************
A sister has won a £2m inheritance fight after her dead brother's will - lost for two decades - was discovered when a cat knocked over a pile of papers in a solicitor's office.
Dean Brunt, his brother Dale, and sister Venetia Murray, 36, had between them owned £6m Ettridge Farm, Hertfordshire, which they had inherited from their grandfather, until Dean's death, aged 35, in a railway accident in 2007.
Dean was thought to have died without making a will, so his £2 million share of the farm went to his 82-year-old mother, Marlene Brunt, who in turn handed it to her eldest child, Dale, 40.

One of the wills - which lawyers said formed 'crucial evidence' of Dean's intention to give his sister half his wealth - was unearthed when a solicitor's cat knocked over a pile of papers which were about to be shredded.
