Betrayed: Daughter who devoted her life to parents sees £2.3m inheritance left... to the RSPCA

For 30 years, Christine Gill devoted her life to caring for her parents and helping them run the family farm.

She became a university lecturer so she could help out during the busy summer months, spent nearly all her spare time at the farm and even lived in a caravan nearby so she could be with her mother, who could never be left alone.

Dr Gill willingly made the sacrifices on the ‘clear and unequivocal’ understanding that she would eventually inherit the 287-acre farm.
