Thanks for your replies - it is good to know that it not a normal level of service. At this stage, we the family of the deceased just want it to be "over" - it wasn't a complicated estate, no debts, no disputes, but we are totally worn out by it all. I will consider providing feedback in writing...

Hi, I was wondering if any solicitors or others can advise what level of service a solicitor handling probate is expected to provide? For example, would be expected to verify all monies/asset values or is the onus on the executor to do all that? To date, we have experienced several...

So the answer to the question is that deposits are simply not withheld. I didn't say earlier (but based on some of the feedback so far, and the tone of some of the feedback it is probably irrelevant) but we were left with no keys to the front door at all. Also, the property management company...

Thanks for the feedback so far. Quite surprising. I am not a "landlord" by choice, I was just helping out an elderly relative. Things have certainly changed from the time I was renting. They haven't paid for the 3 weeks, so not sure why they get 3 weeks. We are dealing with over 2K "wear and...

Apologies in advance for a bit of a rant, but would like to get some perspective from others. The house is going on the market, and the tenants had been given notice to vacate. They have vacated 3 weeks earlier than their notice date - and informed property company a few days after the fact...

Hi. Reviewing previous threads on this matter, I am still a little confused on the following - is it a requirement to list the gifts under the 3K yearly limit in the above form? Some posts indicate that revenue do not need to be informed at all, if the gift is under the 3K annual allowance...

Hi all. The renewal notice has since come in and I contacted the insurer to let them know the details of the situation. The upshot is that there are two options with the current insurer: Option 1 The policy can be renewed in the same name (i.e. name of the current primary driver), with a clause...

Sole account I think- some banks addressed the statements & other documentation to both names i.e. the account owner (on one line) and the POA with an (s) suffixed to the POA's name (on another line). Does that make it more than a sole account? Other banks had the POA recorded, but the account...

Hi - I was wondering if I could get some advice about this please. Is there a way of handling this as the cheque can't be endorsed? Some of the cheques are dated prior to the death, and some were issued after. The bank is unaware of the death, as it is quite recent (this month) - can the...

Thanks. I spoke with a broker today, who was of similar opinion. He said that it would be fine to renew the policy without mentioning any of this matter; that it would only be an issue if there was an accident and the man was driving - to the man's great sadness, he will definitely not be...

Thanks for the replying and for the information. Haven't spoken to the current insurer about this yet - the renewal notice is not yet through. I haven't tried any brokers, just online and then phone calls when advised to contact the company as the quote would not be provided online - do you...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any experience in the following matter - an elderly married couple have been insured on the same car policy for many years. The woman is a named driver. Health issues have forced the male to stop driving recently. His drivers licence is up for renewal in a few...
