The deceased died in an accident aged 44, never having made a will.

His parents, long since divorced, were jointly entitled to administer his estate, and disagreed about where he should be buried.

The mother, by her own admission, had had only limited contact with him in recent years

The court decided that the wishes of his father and other family members and friends should prevail, since he was closer to them

No doubt much money was spent arguing this point, which could have been saved if he had made a will appointing Executors he trusted to carry out his own wishes
