Overview

• On June 4, 2025, Central London County Court dismissed Sharon Duggan’s claim to remain in the Crawley family home under the Inheritance Act.
• The judge accepted her PTSD, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, long Covid and noise sensitivity but ruled that alternative housing could accommodate her needs.
• Sharon argued that her two emotional support rescue dogs were vital to her mental health and would struggle in a flat.
• Most of Agnes Duggan’s £420,000 estate is tied up in the Sussex property, so each sister is now entitled to a one-third share.
• Sharon’s portion may be absorbed by legal fees as Brenda and Ann prepare to receive their inheritances.
