Codicil Found after 4 years of death

[Witsend1]

I have only just found out my aunt left me her second when she died 4 years ago. My aunt added a Codicil to her Will but it was never attached and we have found it amongst her paperwork. The property has been rented out for years as income for my aunt and uncle as they have no real pension. I don’t want to sell the property and am happy for my uncle to have the funds from the rental but have no idea what I need to do. The property was in joint names of my aunt and uncle. It’s only when we found the title deeds and applied to have my aunts name removed and my uncles left on all this cane to light. The Codicil was tucked into the Deeds envelope. Now if I leave it as it is I will pay inheritance tax on property when my uncle dies but if I had found I was to have property when my aunt died there would have been no inheritance tax to pay as their home and the second home would now take over the threshold . Can anyone suggest what I do please. It’s such a muddle. More importantly we don’t want properties sold should in later years my uncle have to go into a home.

You really ought to follow atticus 's advice and seek professional help.

The original grant of probate might need to be revoked, and other matters unwound or settlements negotiated.
