My Sisters Bank Won't Let her release My Inheritance To Me-Please Help.

What your solicitor has said is essentially the advice given here. You really should take it. The other crucial thing is to get some urgent medical help as has been already advised. Have you done so? The solution really is in your own hands but you have to help yourself. Go and see a GP as soon as possible.

Ann - you do not not know for certain that your sisters have had ALL their money. What you DO know is your well sister spend some of her money on a deposit for a flat. It does not mean she has received ALL of it, I believe it is allowed for beneficiaries to take whats called an interim payment if they need it (which your sister did as she had to move out of the house that was being sold). So whilst you know she received enough money for a deposit (which would come from her share only) you do not know she has received it ALL.

If your solicitor is writing to her this will hopefully clear up who has received what and how much. Like others I don't think it is best to involve solicitors normally due to the cost but if it puts your mind at ease maybe it is better for you to take this route - your heath has to come first however much it costs.

I think it is very important to remember your sister has only just gone into hospital. Must people will recover in a short while, it is far too early to be considering going to court at this stage, the courts would not be interested, you sister will have had to been in hospital for a long while before anyone can start thinking about taking it to court.

I know its hard but you need to wait to see how your ill sister gets on over the next few months.

Maybe email your well sister to pass on your best wishes and asked to be informed of how she is doing? It must be a really difficult time for all of you at the moment.

Look,first I have to get my inheritance before I can think about that or do anything.
The way it looks at the moment, I will be lucky to get my money at all, let alone move to Liverpool.

If I don't get my inheritance it won't happen because I will be stuck on benefits forever.

My biggest problem is getting my money which is now going to be a problem.

Unless my sister recovers enough to go to the bank with my other sister, it looks like I am going to have to fight to get my inheritance.



Yes I have to find a GP whether I like it or not.
Because say the DWP write to me to review my benefits or ask for certificates which they can do-Then I will need a GP for that.
But that's the only reason I looking for one.
If I was not on benefits I would not bother.

If I talk to a GP about this I don't think they would be very interested.
A lot of them only give you short appointments and don't have time to really talk to you like a CMHT Keyworker or Psychiatrist does.

Now about this problem.
I cannot get my inheritance because of some Red Tape Barclays Bank.
The manager of Barclays Bank told me my well sister must get power of attorney by going to a Solicitor and going to court to gain sole control of the account.


But my Solicitor said that Barclays Bank have told me wrong and my sister must go to the Court Of Protection.
And my solicitor said Power of Attorney from whom?
What did he mean by that?

BTW I did not even know what Power Of Attorney was until the Bank manager explained it to me.
So I certainly don't understand what my Solicitor was trying to tell me on the phone today.
What?

Could some one explain?

Various people have explained but you just will not accept the advice you have been given. I believe you need urgent medical help to reduce the serious anxiety you are suffering from and to help you think straight. Unless and until you do that I believe you will just continue going in round in circles and getting nowhere. That should be your number one priority. If you can't do that then despite all the goodwill on here you will not solve your problems. I am sorry to sound harsh but you should stop making excuses for not seeking medical help. You can do it but you have to help yourself.

Ann, you are not doing yourself any favours here, you are stressing yourself out and still increasing your legal bill while ignoring all the very good advise being given.
The "woman in the launderette" isn't going to be interested in this and will more than likely not be able to give you any more useful info than you have already received numerous times on here.
You are still stressing yourself out with talk of fighting the banks and moving to another lawyer.You are not listening, the bank is doing nothing wrong and no lawyer is going to make the bank change its policy.The correct procedures need to be followed and this will take time to progress.You need to step back and let this take its course.
I have been lucky where I have never had to deal with MH problems but it is clear that you are not in a good place with the stress of this.
Your main goal at this moment should be to register with a gp to gain some support through this time you are obviously having difficulty with.
You need to address this foremost before pursuing anything else to do with this inheritance.Sort out your health and the inheritance will sort itself out in time.
If you keep going the way you are then your health is going to suffer while your legal bill increases unnecessarily , eating into the amount you will receive .
I do hope you find some support through this through a health professional and listen to the very good advise given but the outcome is certainly in your hands.
