This is a total long shot but here goes - is there a lawyer out there who is au fait Portuguese inheritance law? My father, a british national who was resident in Portugal, recently sadly passed away and whilst he left a will with a Portuguese notary, we are being given confusing and conflicting information about what paperwork we need to produce in order to even begin the probate process - worse, there is a deadline of beginning of May. Has anyone already been through this who could advise? The Portuguese consulate has been no help at all. Many thanks.
