Because of the difficulties involved with distance I went round all the finacial institutions that my mother had dealings with giving certified copies of the death certificate, details of the solicitors, plus handing over my ID to prove who I was. This morning I get a request from ...... (a bank I will be very happy to never have any dealings with again) asking for the same information. This means I'm going to have to go to a notary public to certify everything and repeat the whole process from here. I really wonder why I bothered. Actually, when I went into close the accounts they gave me quite a hard sell about their probate services and I all I could say was "you have to be joking". At least when I call my solicitor I can get her on the phone, which is more than you can say about ...... (whose 0845 number doen't give you an option to press if you don't have an account with them)
Jennifer I have edited the name out. I know that we have had this debate before about whether names ould be included - unfortunately cant remember what the reply was! Will refer it to Brucie and if necessary re-edit. Hope you dont mind. Helen
