Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in United Kingdom
My dead dad's will
Over 2 years ago my father passed
away. He was living with a long term
partner as he divorced my mother
when me and my two siblings were
small. He did leave a wil and it was
left to his partner to see his children
ok (and vice versa, if she died he
would see her three children ok).
Unfortunately my dad died just
before he was going to leave his long
term partner as they had had major
problems in their relation for many
years. My dad had always promised
me that his partner would see his
children all right and that he had a
lot of investments, stock & shares
etc. His partner did give a small
amount to me and my siblings after
a while but that was it. She is now
selling their home for over £500,000
and down sizing to a smaller home.
She never contacted us to tell us
about the move and she will not give
us anything else although it was
promised. We also never saw a copy
of the will. The biggest problem is
that we never really liked her and
she never really liked us, but for my
fathers sake we tolerated each other.
I know my father would be very
unhappy with the outcome, and
would like to do somthing about it.
Can anybody please advise.

Re: My dead dad's will
hi
Your first step must be to obtain a copy of the will left by your father.This may be obtained from the Probate Registry. It will then be a question of determining whether the executor appointed in the will has carefully carried outyour late father's wishes. We will be happy to assist further if instructed.
