Is he being made to repay what he has stolen?
Is the bank willing to put things right? They shouldn't have opened the accounts to him without proof.
That's what I thought. The bank had no reason to give him the money and have made a huge error here.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

He had the death certificate, which both the natwest and barclays deemed enough to close the accounts. This was because they were below the 20K threshold and as long as he signed an idemity then all was ok.
The santander account has notes about trying to be closed by him, but as it is above their 5K threshold they stopped the accounts but did not release the monies.Year 2019 (1,700/£17000mortgage repayment)Overall mortgage (71,400/165568) (44

Has a complaint been made to the banks?He had cashed them and put them into his bank.
Are the banks chasing him for the return of the money?
Will the banks invoke the indemnity?
Has the court ordered the repayment of the money to the rightful recipient?0 -

The probate has only just come through in the last week or two so nobody knew that the money was gone (apart from my dad)
I have complained but they said that since it was below 20k and my dad signed a form then they have done nothing wrong.
Banks are invoking the indemnity.
The solicitors have written to my dad.Year 2019 (1,700/£17000mortgage repayment)Overall mortgage (71,400/165568) (44
