Death of a friend

Replying to add:

I rang and spoke to Barclays, I expressed my concerns about clearing up and finding things for the estate and they said they would send someone round on Monday to do a quick check.

I haven't made a decision on that, I'm still looking for assistance on that matter.

I think it is entirely up to you. Maybe you could contact http://www.crusebereavementcare.org.uk/

and they could give you some help and advice,they could also have experience with this kind of thing. They can also help you too.

Thanks.

I rang the council to see if I could get any information and they clammed up saying basically its nothing to do with me.

Do you think any of the staff would come or am I chasing something for nothing?

He was in care for most of his life and someone suggested informing the homes he was in to see if any staff remembered him and would like to come to his funeral

I've got nought to add as I've never been in this situation, but I tell ye, your the sort of person I'd want looking after my estate if I copped it!

You sound like you are doing a sterling job, soon you'll be able to relax
