Secondly, my brother was a cab driver and paid a desposit for the card payment machine. I have access to his email and have a copy of the deposit receipt. I have also dropped off the payment machine to them and they have signed a delivery note.

However after promising to pay into his widows account immediately in a few days they have got back to me saying that they need to see power of attorney, saying that's the law of the land.

I say this is baloney, in any case what would be the best way to extract money?

I'm sorry for your loss.

With regards to the cab company: Tell them in writing that you expect the money depositing to the wife's account, and that if they don't you'll be contacting the local paper(s) and will pursue this through the small claims court.

Given that they know that he has sadly died this is incredibly callous behaviour on their part.
