Very true, Eliza, and thanks. I'm coming to think that as long as there is a death certificate, the bank shouldn't even be involved. It should be sorted by the Court of protection.

Re: Probate

Sorry to here about your Mum Floydy .
Accounts are always frozen until probate is passed .
It's no big deal you just have to take the will and swear it's true and pay £215 for them to put the official approval on it.
Then they send you the certificate of probate -best to get several copies .

Re: Probate

You take the certificate of probate to the bank or BS and show them it and they will take a photocopy ( but best to get several copies anyway in case they want to keep them) after that they will release the fund to you.
When someone's dies all this information is given to you when you register the death.

Re: Probate

Sorry to hear about mum Floydy .

Can I ask another question please , we have some experienced folk here .

Do you think it's worth adding my daughter and or son as a signature on my bank account while I'm still alive n kicking . I'd trust both implicitly , it's just that when I leave the planet it may help them to be able to get some money to oversee any expenses incurred . ?

Your thoughts please

Re: Probate

Mum did that with me, Susan. So when she died, as I was a joint account holder (and I was Executor) I behaved as if it was my money!

Re: Probate

Thanks Jazzi , I think I'll do this . I've spoken to my two and told them my will will go to probate and they will have to pay for other expenses . I just want to make it easy for them

Mostly sorted now after my appointment with the bank this morning. A solicitor is next on the agenda and then the probate can be passed through. Time will depend on their workload and then we should receive our inheritance.
