Mother Jailed for Stealing Daughters' £50,000 Inheritance

Katherine Hill and her elderly father exploited their trustee roles to defraud her two daughters out of their bequest.

Katherine Hill received a 30-month prison sentence while her father, Gerald Hill, got a suspended sentence.
The £50,000 was left by the daughters' grandmother, Margaret Hill, to be accessed when they turned 25.
The fraud was discovered when one daughter attempted to use the money for a house deposit.
Both daughters have suffered significant emotional and financial distress due to the theft.
The court described Katherine Hill as acting out of 'greed and spite,' using the money as a weapon against her children.
