    How "recently"? And has probate been granted?

    If probate/letters of administration hasn't been granted (and if you're in England) your chain isn't going anywhere until it has - because nobody has the right to sell the deceased person's assets.

    Whoops. Should have explained. A guy bought a bungalow for his mum who passed away and he no longer needs it
