Havers Wins Court Battle Over Late Wife's Estate.... British TV star Nigel Havers has won a legal battle over his late wife's $4.4 million (£2.3 million) estate, after claiming he was unfairly cheated out of a chunk of it.The 57-year-old A Passage To India star's wife Polly died in 2004 from ovarian cancer, leaving most of her estate to her two sons from a previous relationship, Ben and William Bloomfield.Havers inherited a share of the couple's marital home but began a legal battle claiming the will, drawn up after they married in 1989, left him without "reasonable financial provision".A compromise that was reached last year - before the case went to Britain's High Court - and published now for the first time, awards Havers $712,000 (£375,000) and the two sons $445,000 (£235,000).The actor is also entitled to the proceeds from the sale of a number of items including his late wife's car and jewellery.
