Hi
Please could anyone help. Dealing with a will for which I am a beneficiary although not executor. I am not the only beneficiary. House that the deceased owned is now on the market having had the probate application completed. Was looking forward to resolving the estate and moving on but now the solicitor has written attaching a letter from DWP that too much pension credit and housing credit may have been paid.
I'm real stressed and upset that this may delay everything. I don't have any other information. He was renting a flat but owned a house and rented it out. I didn't know that he claimed any benefit.
What are my options? Do I need to leave this with the solicitor? Should I ask how much he'll be charging to sort it out with DWP? Can I ask a different solicitor to sort it out with DWP? Our solicitor has been very slow with the probate application.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I feel out of my depth now!
