Reg Bond of Pocklington built a single garage into a multi-million pound national wholesale tyre business, the High Court in London heard.
He was also a passionate racegoer, ran his own stud at Yapham Mill near Pocklington and raced his own horses.
Until two years before he died on March 15, 2021, aged 77, his will split his estate equally between his four children. But in 2019 he signed a will splitting it between his two younger sons Charlie and Greg.
The two excluded siblings, Lindsay and Mike Bond, challenged the will and after a lengthy High Court trial, Mr Justice Michael Green agreed with them and ordered that Reg Bond’s 2017 will, splitting the estate equally between all four siblings, should be put into effect.
