Money taken from my bank account without a court order
Hi, In the start of 2020 I contacted Bank to inform it that I was in the process of obtaining probate due to there being a balance in my late mother’s account.
At the time, Lawyer – who were appointed by the Law Society – but was not given letters of the administrator of my mother's’ estate until 2021 and then knowing he was being removed..
By showing the bank I was the son the’ bank gave me the money as it was below the 50,000
Later on in the year August 2020 the lawyer asked the bank to remove the sum of money from my bank account without warning or court order. They knew they were being removed by the court.
The Bank had no right to do this as, under common law, I was entitled to this money as I am the only living relative and my late mother’s wills stated that bills must be paid and the bank account was for a guest house which my mother and I ran. I kept it running after her death. The guest house bank account was money for boilers etc and I had worked and put money into the guest house.
The bank funds were transferred to be put into my account the bank said by accident so offered me £300 by way of apology for heightening his expectation.
But this was the action of the lawyers telling the bank to take the money out of my mother's account. Then the lawyer took the money and said it was to pay tax but estate not closed yet.
But the lawyer did not have letters of administration until 2021 and knew he was being removed and took the money for malice
Any suggestions. Thank you
