Three brothers are battling over their late mother’s £1.8million will, a court has heard.
Rachel Heath left her sons Jeremy, Timothy and Dominic equal shares of her fortune when she died in October 2015, aged 93.
Timothy Heath, however, is fighting for a larger share of the money, claiming he was an “unpaid carer” for their mother for years while his brothers “took none of the burden.”
The High Court in London was told that all three brothers were named as executors of the will.
Timothy told the court he looked after Mrs Heath with two other carers who each earned £45,000 a year.
He said, “I didn’t ask to be paid for looking after a parent. But my brothers took none of the burden.
“They pursued their careers and pensions and their incomes and they left me to do what they took advantage of.
“You cannot have three people carers living in a house with two earning £45,000 a year and one getting nothing. I think the estate should honour its debts.”
He added, “I don’t own a house and I don’t have a pension or a steady income.
“I’m not prepared to be bullied by people who have pursued a career with money and don’t value things that don’t attract money, and I don’t think I should be made homeless or put into penury if it can be avoided.”
The judge will make a ruling at a later date.
