Hi all,
Back in 2002 my mother was told by her best friend that she had completed a will and had left her 10k. Sadly roughly this time last year she passed away.
the executor of the will is her son, my mother was not told that she had died, but my mum knew she was on the will so got a copy of the will and not to her surprise she was on the will and confirmed that she had been left 10k. My mum then contacted the son via text message. At the time mum felt a little uncomfortable at out right asking about the money and in her texts just made light conversation with the hope that he would mention the money. He never did, my assumption is that he was hoping she was unaware, the reason for this was as soon as mum did mention the will his replies stopped and mum has been ignored.
The house was on the will and appears to be occupied (not by him)
i am unsure on what steps to take, could someone provide me with some advice? I have contacted the solicitor, they couldn't assist, as they have not been instructed.
thanks in advance,
James
