Is this harassment?

[YepNameChanged]

I have name changed for this. My dad passed a few months back. He belongs to a large family who had joint business interests. They are in the process of dividing the business.
His brothers constantly ring my mum and me asking to share my dads personal account details. This is nothing to do with the business. Even after informing this the calls haven’t stopped..it’s causing massive stress for my mum and me. Is this harassment? Can I seek help from the police?

Bump

Who is doing the probate?

Business and personal finances should be kept seperate.

Is there a solicitor?

I mean you could just block the calls. Presumably the actual root of the stress is that they want access to his personal bank account. Have the bank been informed that he’s deceased?

Yes the bank has been informed.

His personal and business accounts are separate however there are daily calls asking for his personal bank account details.

It’s only two months since his passing and my mum is struggling with long Covid and now this.

@Gingernaut yes my mum has a solicitor who is dealing with the personal accounts etc to close those.

Why do they want access to his private accounts?

I would be directing all enquiries to your mum's solicitor. So sorry for your loss.

Are you able to contact your uncle and give him a final no and that he stops contacting your mum about this matter?

I suggest sending a solicitor’s letter formally telling them to stop asking. They have no right to personal details. Did the will leave everything to your mum?

The Executor should be dealing with everything as set out in your Dad's will - it's out of you and your mum's hands, unless one of you is executor.

He didn’t write a will - which is why it’s a bloody mess.

But it’s his personal accounts so my mum is the beneficiary

If part of the business belonged to him, then she is the beneficiary of that too.
