Hi to all especially "Fade out".
I am the same person who wrote on the link 126871. I thank all who are trying to help me in this trying time having lost my Father.
I guessed correctly and called the Solicitors, whom Father had used for over 60 years. They told me his current Will had been given to another firm nearer to him (50 miles!) only 7 months ago and NOT re-written. When I spoke to the new solicitor's he told me that his own 2 blood children (of which I am one) had been left NOTHING.
The POA, finally telephoned me to give the name of Father's solicitors, something I had asked for in 3 letters, this was after I had found out who they were. I did not tell him. He even had great delight in reading an email sent from the firm of solicitors to him that his blood children were not beneficiaries. I have a horrible thought as I think the POA is an executor!!
Father had been married for over 30+ when he decided to divorce our Mother. He only fathered 2 children in his life time. It does not matter how old you are it still hurts when your parents divorce. Father remarried (JJ) 25 years ago who had her own child who was about 28+ at the time of meeting Dad. His 2nd wife is also dead.
I understand that a document has to be raised if one does not want to leave anything to a blood relatives?
How do you hold up the probate?
I had asked the POA, on several times and in 3 letters to get a copy of Dad's medical certificate (I even sent him a letter which he just had to sign) and for a copy of his death certificate. He sent me the copy of the death certificate which said Father had Dementia. The POA was getting very nasty about why I should want his medical records on several occasions. Both of us have serious medical problems and many unanswered questions, could now be given to our different Consultants. I was smelling a very large RAT.
(Getting the medical records are in hand, thanks to a retired GP living nearby)
Can you see why my sibling & myself want to contest the Will, as it has been left to a none blood person (2nd Wife daughter). I would be happy with a 3 way split.
Once again thank you all for helping me, as I am doing this all by myself in this city.
