Hi, I have been reading Mumsnet for years but this is my first time posting as I would really appreciate advice.
My DB passed away a year ago. He had no biological children and had been engaged for a few years. He was not living ( legally) at his fiance's address.
She led us to believe she was entitled to all his possessions. I'm only speaking about clothes, personal items, papers etc. No car or funds in the bank.There wasn't a will.
We lost another close family member the following week so our ( my other siblings) heads were.. well you can imagine. It was only while dealing with other family members funeral and will, that I became familiar with NOK and what happens if someone dies interstate. I was told by my other DB just to let things be and as we have been grieving I have done. But I have recently been informed that she has been and was, seeing other men before and very very soon after my DB died. I just feel so angry and I'm still mourning him. She has made out she's suffering because of his death. I didn't want her to have his belongings in the first place as she was never kind in her comments about him.
I guess what I'm asking is, is it too late to ask for his things back? His phone and paperwork etc?
I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense. Lack of sleep and I'm so upset wondering if he knew before he died
Thank you for reading.x
