Looking for advice, I'll try to keep this short. My EX-MIL & EX-FIL both died last year, survived by 4 DSs. I have 2 DDs with EX. He has told them that there is £85,000 in his parents' bank which is to be shared among all the grandchildren, seven of them so works out at just over £12,000 each. But EX-H is saying that they will have to pay lawyers' fees and inheritance tax from that £85,000 and told them they will get £5,000 each. Now, the estate is nowhere near the amount that would qualify for inheritance tax, they had a very run down house in a very rough area, probably only worth about £100,000. I don't know how much lawyer's fees would be but I'm guessing a few thousand at most. EX-H has a history of lying and gaslighting, especially when it comes to money, did it to me all our married life and I am worried that he is now doing it to our DDs. He is a gambler and perpetually in debt so I think he is keeping some of their inheritance for himself. DDs think the same but don't want to say anything in case he decides they get nothing, he is the spiteful type. Is there any way to find out what was actually in the will and who the executor is? I'm sure they did leave one because I remember them talking about it years ago in relation to who would get what share of the house.
