My adult DD is next of kin for her uncle, my deceased ex-husband's brother. She has been called to hospital and advised he was admitted after a seizure and is not going to survive more than a couple of days. He has been an alcoholic for years and refused all help. We went to his council flat today to check the state of it and it is unspeakable. I will not give unnecessary distressing detail but he is a hoarder and there are significant biohazards a lay person simply couldn't deal with safely. Can anybody tell me what is likely to happen after he dies and will she be liable for any costs? She is desperately worried, a single parent working full time and receiving tax credits and housing benefit. Thank you.
