Deceased belongings

[Funky carl]

Hi

I'm in a difficult and complex situation and I dont no what to do at the moment sorry about my English not my strong point my dad died 3 years ago without will my step mom had everything he owed which was ok because she was like my mom and always treated me like her own but sadly she has passed away 5 weeks ago and her biological daughter has step in from no where and said everything thing in the house is hers but there are things of sentimental value of my dads and my nans in the house plus my step moms things can she empty the house before probate is granted and also she died instate too my step mom promised me and my children that we would inherit half of it all more than once and not just to me but to her sister cushion but dose the biological daughter have the right to remove anything from the house before she is granted administrator sorry About my English

The biological daughter is entitled to it all, and can take it all.

That is probably correct, but there may possibly be more to it than that based on the stepmother's promise, but this is very far from certain or straightforward. The OP should take professional legal advice from a solicitor who is STEP accredited. STEP = Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.

[dslippy]

True, but STEP accreditation will only get you so far.

Thank you for the reply
This is so unfair to my complex situation would it be better to file a claim under provision for family and dependants act it make mine blood boil thinking of the rats coming out from nowhere

Cool your blood. No one can give you advice based only on what little you have said about your complex situation.
