Fair enough.
My point was that they wouldn't give information to an ex to track the patient down. Which I'm sure you agree they wouldn't0 -

If a parent dies while the child is a minor, the child does have a claim on the estate.0 -

Fair enough, I didn't realise that. I was more referring to the point the other poster made about 'able to get his inheritance in good time' which implied later in life when he was an adult.I'm a Board Guide on the Credit Cards, Loans, Credit Files & Ratings boards.

An adult child who isn't being financially supported at the time of the parent's death wouldn't have a claim on the estate in England or Wales but would in Scotland. I don't know about the Channel Islands inheritance rules.0 -

Rather interesting that there have been no further posts from the OP.0

Well they did say that their workhours finish at 10pm and logically most of the time people would go pretty much straight into getting their nights sleep after that.
Entirely likely that, now she has some sort of knowledge of who this guy really is etc, that she would probably "crash out" into having a decent nights sleep for once before starting to get on with working out what to do now.
Obviously we are all going to be curious as to what she does now about him - and would appreciate if OP tells us the outcome when she has come to some decisions about this. Its understandable if she wants to spend some time thinking through how to proceed now.0 -

I never replied again out of shame. I am ashamed of myself for lying about finding him. The only reason I lied was to stop the people sending me messages asking for information.
A couple of people would have been enough to say thanks, but no thanks, but 19 different people all asking for his pictures, his number plate, email addresses, facebook, my name, his name, his date of birth, the company he said he worked and phone numbers, so they can search for him on my behalf.
I couldn't cope with it. I am under enough stress as it is, and if those people who sent me those messages read what has happened to me. You think they would understand the serious trust issues I have at the moment. I don't know any of you, so why do you think I would just hand over sensitive information? That is not what I asked for when I wrote the first page. If I am going to give information to anyone, it will be a private investigator.
What I wrote about finding him, was from someone we found months ago, that I thought was him. I just used it in my lie, so nobody would ask me any more questions, and I could be forgotten.
I feel so bad for lying, that I sent people messages saying sorry for lying. I hoped that would be enough to cleanse my conscience, it wasn't, and instead, I chose to tell you all the actual truth so you know.
I am very sorry for lying. I hope you can all treat my reasons for lying with dignity, and find it within yourself to forgive me.0
