Re: late fathers estate, step brother involved

update.

pru now trying to contact claimant. when asked why they paid out, was told he seems to have made a claim to executorship.

land registry have done the transfer and im just waiting for the paper work to arrive.

Barclays phoned me back after i gave them the weekly kick. it seems they are investigating my complaint i made to the FSO. hope there not using this as an excuse to dodge around for a few weeks and then say ill have to make a small claims court claim.

Re: late fathers estate, step brother involved

I just had a worrying thought, after reading another thread. what if hes run up debts against my late fathers estate and or property address. I assume im covered against people claiming on me as administrator?

Re: late fathers estate, step brother involved

You are a worrier.

If HE has run up debts, they are HIS debts.
He has no authority with reference to your father's estate, and has no standing so cannot do whatever it is that you have decided to worry about.

Just proceed with your tasks, and don't anticipate scenarios outside your control.

it was more from the point of view that I might find I get several debt collection agency chasing my step brother and only finding me might think im a better bet at getting money out of. hes lived there nearly 3 years he could have potentially even used my Dads name.

Re: late fathers estate, step brother involved

You are having nightmares.
IF he has run up debts in your father's name he will have done this after your father's death and this will be easily proved.
Your father's estate will have no liability for those debts, DCAs are not to be feared and he will have dug himself a very large hole

The DCAs will not be chasing you you are not liable personally.

If he has incurred debts AFTER the death they cannot pursue the estate he will be liable to the debt and to proscecution not you all this is spinning around your head take the advice given by others this guy is in for a lot of trouble but first you must sort it all out so you have control of the estate

Re: late fathers estate, step brother involved

Re: late fathers estate, step brother involved

Re: late fathers estate, step brother involved

only problem is how to fill out the form. technically its occupied, but not by the right person, if you see what I mean :tinysmile_twink_t2: .

[adamk]

Re: late fathers estate, step brother involved

seriously guys how can I insure it?

[MIKE770]

Re: late fathers estate, step brother involved

How about talking to a Broker regarding advice on this problem area??

[adamk]

Re: late fathers estate, step brother involved

hadn't thought of that. I normally just use the internet to get insurance. one thought I had was to just go through the form and state it has one adult living there, not sure if they could then back out in the event of a claim though.
