[pibbly]

Hi Just wondered if someone legal can help.
Dp's father died about 2 years ago.Dp's brother has power of attorney for his mum who is now in a home.They have recently sold the house.Half of the proceeds are for their mum the other half[their dads half]is to be divided between the 3 siblings.How long would dp have to wait for his share?
Thanks in Advance.

Bump..i have changed my name!Whoo hoo.I feel rather grasping asking this but i can't find any info and the siblings don't really communicate and the money would be hugely useful.Tho it's sad too because of the circumstances..so mixed feelings really.

If half the house was in the father's name, then I would have thought the proceeds from that half of the sale would be subject to inheritance tax & such like.
It is an almost impossible question to answer pibbly, because you have given so little information.
Did your dp's father leave a will? What happened to the rest of his assets?

Yes it's in the will.I think everything else is for his mum.I t is just his father's half of the house proceeds to be divided between the siblings.I just wondered about the length of time.The house has been sold.

I just wondered if we are looking at next year or within a month or so and as it's just the house which i don't think is eligible for inheritance tax i wondered if it would be quick.
The house is sold,the money is in the bank.What now?

I guess it depends on the terms of the will. Is a solicitor involved? Might be worth a call to them to find out more, or else I think you are going to have to bite the bullet & chat to your dp's brother.
