Hi all,
It recent has come to my attention that a family member of mine was due to inherit there mother property and the son was to recieve half of everything in the will.
Nothing has happened as yet and when I started looking into this I realised that the estate has not gone to probate and that the mother ( executor of the will ) has already dispensed the money in the bank account which is illegal in itself.
So the real question I have is what effect will this have on the property as it is still the the deceased name 7 years after passing away ?
and additional legal issue's ?
Can the property be taken of the mother in question ?
Can the son make a claim for the property ?
Thanks to all who comment with some useful information.
