Thank youI wonder how the rent was paid - I suspect cash. If it was a bank transfer to either of them Revenue could follow it . My late mother used to say when she heard of something like this " they won't have much luck for it". Move on with your own life and try and forget about it.
Thank you it appears the advice most people give it’s a shame they got away with €21000.00 from our mothers accounts they did not leave enough to pay for her funeralSorry to say this but you might be facing another problem with your brother if there's no will and you 2 are the only children. He would be entitled to half of everything I'd imagine.
Your correct his wife wants their shareSorry to say this but you might be facing another problem with your brother if there's no will and you 2 are the only children. He would be entitled to half of everything I'd imagine.
Your posts are not fully clear. There is enough money to pay the funeral expenses as there is the mother's home. So it is incorrect to look at it as there was not enough money left to pay for the funeral. I was in the same situation as executor and there was no money so I just paid it myself and recouped it after the house was sold.Thank you it appears the advice most people give it’s a shame they got away with €21000.00 from our mothers accounts they did not leave enough to pay for her funeral

. Perhaps you could subtract the amount taken from your mother's accounts from his portion of the proceeds of the sale but you obviously you need proper legal advice.

Cash to our brother he said he paid inThank you
You Re correct in you assumptions the credit union send me a copy of the letter giving permission for the withdrawal it was hand written by the in law and my mother’s signature did not appears to be hers as her hands were always shakin also there was second letter with permission sighted by a totally different signature they told the credit union the money was to pay nursing home fee the first amount was withdrawn in the first 6 week of her going into the home and 3 months the remainder all the money in the bank was withdraw over 2 yrs on a debit card They even took out €50.00 on the day we buried our mother all advise appears to let it goWhat are the credit union rules for an" inlaw" to transfer large amounts from an 83 yrs old women (credit union account to a bank account) (and then making withdrawals with an atm card ) in a nursing home unable to care for herself and unable to write The in -law provided signed letter from the old woman to allow the withdrawal it was not witnessed and was hand written by the person making the withdrawal it appears to be a forged signature.
Do the credit union not verify the signature and request a witness to the signature before releasing the money
Hi Thank you she had a medical card it paid medication I have statements from the nursing home there was only a weekly charge for to have her hair cut etc she did get a special chair €500.00 subsidised by the medical card She also had private health care that paid for when a doctor visit was required I asked them for receipts and was told they did not keep I ask for bank card to check for a statement and was told the bank does not send statements and they cut up the debit card I asked for the credit union book and was told they don’t know where it is Following these questions they said they would not be talking to me againAre you sure they got away with €21,000 from your mothers accounts ?
You say your mother signed consent 3 years ago so presumably your mother was in a nursing home for 3 years or thereabouts.
It is easy to see how €21,000 might have been legitimately spent over this time.
Fair Deal does not cover activity charges which are typically €3,000 annually, in some homes substantially more.
Your mother would have had additional charges such as hairdressing, prescription charges, possibly charges for outings, samples couriered to labs, hip protectors, the list of possibilities is endless.
Did your mother need physiotherapy, chiropody, dental etc, none of which are covered under Fair Deal.
One of my relations smoked, that cost €70 weekly. (€3,500 annually)
Another needed a specialist chair that cost €5,000.
Your mother would have needed shoes, clothes, toiletries etc.
Then there is house insurance, maintenance, utilities, property tax.
Is it possible that the cash in the bank and credit union together with the rent could have been legitimately spent and this is why your brother and sister in law are aggrieved enough to fall out with family and employ a solicitor ?
What are the credit union rules for an" inlaw" to transfer large amounts from an 83 yrs old women (credit union account to a bank account) (and then making withdrawals with an atm card ) in a nursing home unable to care for herself and unable to write The in -law provided signed letter from the old woman to allow the withdrawal it was not witnessed and was hand written by the person making the withdrawal it appears to be a forged signature.

Thank you I did pay for the funeral my self and waiting on the return from the sale of the house they did pay some small personnel charges to the home there was no cost to keep the house when it was vacant except house insurance but when they let out the 2 rooms they claimed the rental paid for the utilities and there was nothing overYour posts are not fully clear.

Your brother is entitled to his share of the inheritance. You do not know if your late mother wished her son and DIL to have access to the money in the CU. Maybe they did use it to pay something towards the nursing home as I'm aware there are extra costs that the governement does not pay for. Were they living in the house before your mother went into the home. My thinking on them renting out rooms is that at least someone was looking after the house and costs associated with it so that when your mother died the property was in a saleable condition.
