Can the children of a deceased father make a claim for PPI sold on three occasions to him. He was pursuing a claim via a claims company before his death.
Their mother had to go bankrupt after her husband's death.

They can if they have the legal power to do it, if they are executors of the estate for exampleNon me fac calcitrare tuum culi0

The father didn't have an "estate." He died, leaving less than £5000. There was no will0

The Mother should do it if they were still married.0

The mother had to become bankrupt. Doesn't this preclude her from doing it?0

the refund (on a successful complaint) is treated as an asset dated for when the premiums were paid. So, if the premiums were paid pre-bankruptcy, then the Official Receiver should receive the refund and pay it out to the creditors.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

If it was his asset not hers, she can complain, but the asset goes to whoever inherited the estate.Non me fac calcitrare tuum culi0

That means, his children. Yes?
If he, the late father was the sole beneficiary, does that mean that his adult children could make a claim?0 -
The wife would have inherited, not the children......make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
They were still married when he died. She can't claim because she had to become bankrupt. Can the children claim?
If they could, then they could use the money to get on the property ladder. Have a deposit for a house.0 -
The children have no legal right to complain. Only the mother can. However, as a bankrupt, the money should be paid to the official receiver.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).
