Advice re winding up estate.

None of your business Frank. Keep out!

Obviously if nobody can think of anything but I thought there may be somebody on gransnet who may have been in this situation.

Frank

This lady is the executor.
I was my fathers executor.

Ana and Bez

I hear what you are saying but she is doing a full time job and it is a big house with lots of furniture.
It will take up a lot of time to go through everywhere and I have heard some weird things in the past like a man put his late wife's jewellery in the tool drawer in the garage.
Obviously only searching will bring this sort of thing to light but I am trying to think of ways I could possibly help speed things up and take some of the pressure off her at this distressing time.
She told me the solicitor was not given details of the money at the time and in any case he is long retired.

Frank

Surely this is something that should be dealt with by the solicitor and the executor?

Frank for heavens sake STOP putting your underpants on over your trousers and trying to be some sort of Superhero.

Leave it with the solicitor and the execution of the will, Frank. Your frequent involvement with others' property and finances is becoming rather too much and could leave you open to suspicion!

My thoughts exactly!

Perhaps the solicitor who drew up the will could help. Otherwise, surely your friend could search her mother's house for paperwork herself?
