- RICHARD GITTINS 

FIVE granddaughters left just £50 each by their grandad in his £500,000 will face a hefty legal bill following a failed court fight.

Frederick Ward, who died aged 91 in 2020, all but cut out his dead son Fred Jnr's five adult children from his will because he was disappointed and upset that they did not visit him very often in his later years.

Carol Gowing, Angela St Marseille, Amanda Higginbotham, Christine Ward and Janet Pett were handed the £50 cash in envelopes.
