My husband’s dad was cruel to him then left him when he was about 5. Hubby has brothers and they were treated the same, his father died about 4 mths ago and hubby only found out through a family friend who spotted the death notice in the paper. The father had been living in a classy nursing home and never wanted to see his kids. My husband wanted to know about his will and the nursing home kept palming him off saying they would call back but never did we finally found out one of the nurses was made an exec. of the will and instructed the nursing home not to give her name and no. as she didn’t want to be tracked down. We went to see a solicitor who found out who was representing the nurse and sent him a letter requesting he will. Her solicitor ignored ours until he sent them a letter threatening to summons him to court for not handing it over. Then we got it. We have requested to know what his assets were and have no response. They won’t submit it to probate…TO BE CONTINUED
because they don’t want us to make a claim for it..our solicitor said it can go on for years they don’t have a specific time to submit it to probate. In the mean time it’s costing us in fees for our solicitor to look out for it. We have seen the will and there are statements in there refering to ‘the said asset’ but therer is nothing to say what exactly the ‘said asset’ is?? I’m starting to wonder if this is all worth it..Hubby actually contacted the nurse and asked why he wasnt told he died, she replied, it was his wishes not to let you know. She said in case you are wondering there isn’t much money left we had to pay for his funeral costs etc. We know before his own mother died she placed nearly 0,000 in his a/c and he already had another 0,000. Is there anything else we can do with this? Should we be harder on our sol. to be more active in it?
free ‘idiot’ – Did you bother to read properly?? His father was cruel to him and obviously ignored the fact he had family to leave any assets to except a nurse! If he remarried and had another life with someone else then we wouldn’t want any of it. Vultures? Get a life and grow up looser!!
Are you thinking about selling your home yourself? then
In Australia, a nurse at any medical or nursing facility can not legally be nominated in any particulars of a patient/client’s will, nor can they sign as witnesses. Just another way of looking into things.
Be careful, legal costs are very high, is there somewhere you can access free legal advice? Such as community centres.
sounds completely illegal. take them to court. any withholding of a will is an illegal action and is a federal offense.
You’re F-I-L had the right to name whoever he wanted in his will. Sounds like greedy vultures are lurking everywhere.
I am just curious….if your father in law wanted nothing to do with your hubby since he was 5; why does your husband care so much as to what his will stated? It sounds like your fil was a real jerk. I would just leave it alone. It sounds like your hubby has done just fine without him since he was 5 so why does he need to see the will so bad? I am estranged from my father and I could care less what is in his will when he dies. If he happens to leave me anything, I don’t want it.
