Posting for traffic as this is probably the ultimate in niche questions but I know from lurking that there are a few Indian and British Indians on here.
My Indian grandmother died almost a decade ago and I’ve just discovered that my siblings and I are beneficiaries of her estate. Her home has finally been sold and proceeds are now to be divided. She left us the equivalent of £120k so not life changing but nonetheless an unexpected windfall which would make a huge difference to our daily circumstances.
My cousins in India have already received their portion but ours is languishing in a bank account and we’ve no idea how to go about repatriating the money. Relationships within our Indian extended family are very strained so can’t really approach them for advice. (There’s a misconception that we’re rich and don’t need the money, and that as we lived overseas we were insufficiently involved in her care - a discussion for another day!)
If anyone has been through a similar situation I’d love a DM or reply on here. TIA.
