inheritance - what do I do now?

I was discharged from bankruptcy oct 2012.
i am in line to inherit from an estate. i was made aware of this in dec 2012 and the estate will pay out to beneficiaries with in days from now.
another beneficiary of the estate contacted me to say that the solicitor has searched and noted her bankruptcy (discharged 2008) and that they must confirm that she is discharged before they can continue.
the solicitor has not noted my bankruptcy. i assumed that the solicitor would be dealing with all the necessaries and that all was well.
my question is, do i need to contact the OR about this inheritance? or can i trust that the solicitor has things in order? i dont really know what should be done/ can be done at this point!
any help appreciated - thankyou

If the person died before you were discharged you need to inform the OR, if they died afterwards, you don't."Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." Dalai Lama0
