Hey, I just made this account to ask a few legal questions, so forgive me if this is in the wrong topic.
So, my father-in-law (steven) was taken into hospital in May '16 diagnosed with terminal cancer, a few weeks prior he was also diagnosed with dementia. Due to the dementia, he believed that his wife of 25 years (darla) was being unfaithful, and that their 2 children were hiding it from him, (my wife and her brother) so when he got out of hospital, he moved in with his estranged daughter, who he left 30+ years ago and signed all rights to her mother.
And this is where everyrhing goes down hill, his estranged family, and his current family have never gotten along, as they believe darla caused him to leave their mother, (his previous wife). So anytime any of his current family visited him, there would always be a member of his previous family in the room, even when we were In his bedroom talking about our personal life, we never got a second alone with him.
He lived with them for 4 weeks before he passed away. However about 2 weeks into staying with his estranged daughter, he told her that he wanted to go home and spend the rest of his time with his wife and children. At this pointo his estranged daughter called the doctors and told them he had a mental break due to his dementia, and he was put on morphine, where he slept for the rest of his life.
It has recently come into light, that 2 days before he passed away, 2 withdrawals of £1000 were taken from his bank account. Only his estranged daughter, ano his current wife knew his password, but his estranged daughter had his bank card.
After he passed away, his estranged family burried him, however, they didn't not do anything that he said that he wanted at his funeral. For example, he had bought grave plotshirt for himself and his current wife years ago, and they have been paid for. However his estranged family refused to bury him next to his current wife (not yet deceased) so they burried hI'm elsewhere. His current family where left out of his euology, his ex wife was listed as his current wife, and his children with his current wife were not acknowledged at all. His current wife felt too threatened to even attend the funeral as his estranged family have always been very threatening towards her. We have no idea where he is burried.
And finally, they have taken control of all his possessions, including his funeral insurance and his car.
We have informed our solicitors, however thus far every attempt to get anything has not proven fruitful.
Do we have any legal standing at all? Is there anything we can do to make his death right?
Thank you
