So my mother passed away in July 2019 putting my share into a Discretionary Trust.
I have a letter from the Trustees solicitor that I am apparently entitled to both the income and the capital, even though I have never received a penny since she died.
I have one major problem I need advice on.
When my parents got divorced in the early 2000's, my mother as part of her divorce settlement had a substantial amount of money from my father's workplace private pension.
She received a whopping £500,000, but this pension for some reason has been left out of her overall estate.
I believe for whatever reason that the Trustees hid this money, and have clearly not declared this to the Probate people as the overall net value was only just under £1million.
After taxes, her net estate was only around £450K
Its quite clear looking at figures provided, this pension appears to have been left out surely that is fraudulent and depriving the estate.
