Living in NSW AUSTRALIA, we have sold a property that was part of a deceased estate and has a number of beneficiaries. house was sold and settled on the 20/12 but the solicitor is stalling in releasing the money, saying that the bank check has been deposited into his trust account and that it needs to be cleared before he can give us individual checks, which doesn’t make sense to us – as to the best of our knowledge bank checks are cleared funds. the earliest may be five days after settlement, however in all likelihood as his office is closed for the holidays, we will not see our money until end of jan.
when we enquired this with him, he called us idiots and hung up on us.
is anyone aware of our rights in regards to obtaining this money now? any advice is greatly appreciated!

Are you thinking about selling your home yourself? then
Seems all they care about are holidays at the moment, having trouble here too , but if my soliciter called me a idiot someone would be in his office thumping on his desk real quick
