Hi All,
Our mum passed away at the end of January. All her bills that needed to be paid always came to me to deal with. I never had POA and she did not make a will. Everything was split equally and amicably.
Just had a letter from our local council addressed to the Executors of my late mum, stating our names as the executors. It would seem from 2013 she had been over charged for Day Care and Home Care. They were very sorry for this oversight and a cheque will be made payable to her estate in due course. The refund is over £3,000.
I had a refund(payable to my Mum) the other day for £10 from the place where mum rented her sheltered flat from. Took the letter and the cheque to my bank to see about putting in it. Thank goodness I had the letter addressed to me concerning the rebate for the bank to see and copy. Even showed them mum's death certificate. Mum's death was sudden so it had to go to the Coroners Court for an inquest, so as my name was not on it. My bank would only accept the paperwork letter from the sheltered flat rental company.
Just wondering now what will happen when our local council send me the cheque for a much larger amount. Will I have to go through the same carry-on at my bank when trying to deal with this.
Any advice about this matter would be most helpful. Thanks
