Hi,
We very sadly, and suddenly, lost my step-dad this week. We are trying to help my mum to get her head around the finances and things which need to be done. Do we need a solicitor for probate, or can we do it ourselves?
Everything goes to my mum in his will, with the instruction that everything is split 5 ways when she dies (me and my 2 siblings plus stepdads two children). Everything looks fairly straight forward as far as the cash and bank accounts are concerned, but he had a share in a commercial property which is not in my mum's name. Please can someone give me an idiot's guide to what we need to do next? My head is fairly frazzled after spending 2 days in hospital with him and trying to support my step-siblings and mum.... Thanks
