My Mum died last year and I am the executor of her estate. I have paid the IHT due and finally got probate on Jan 10th this year.
I sent several copies of the probate letter to her IFA and he is managing the encashment (I hope I’m using the right term there!). It’s now 3 months later and he still can’t give me a date or in fact any detail as to the progress of getting the cash out of the investments. I appreciate this sort of thing can’t be done overnight but how long is a reasonable time period? I’m especially concerned as I believe the stock market is quite volatile at the moment with the Ukraine/Russia issues.
Does anyone have any expertise in this area and a pan advise?
Thanks in advance!
