Hi can anyone give me a pointer....it would be really appreciated.
My uncle some years ago was diagnosed with dementia
His eldest daughter moved his money (approx 90 k)after this into her name because her mother was fond of gambling machines and she would ensure she taken care of (humph!)...she was also executrix of uncles will.
House signed into their 4 grown up childrens names
Uncle died.
Daughter with the money started terrorising my aunt and drip fed her money so such an extent it was seriously freezing in her home (was allowed heat for one hour morning and one hour night in winter (even 3 years ago during dreadful winter).Daughter also "gave" her £44 a week to live on :( and at one stage physically left her with bruises. (aunt wouldn't press charges)
Aunt (86)got cancer and died.
This happened 6 weeks ago, mean daughter furious not made executrix of my aunts will but has told her (easily bullied)brother who is an executor - not to go to a solicitor. My mother is the other executrix and I think she needs to go to my aunts solicitor.
My uncle died 4 years ago - she said she has no receipts of spending his money and hasn't done probate. We reckon his money has depleted from 90k to 20k. Mean daughter wants to keep control and there be no probate
I am worried my mum would be held liable for any failure to do probate. This woman is a real intimidating bully. My mum is old.
Help!!!!!
