DAVEGUK

Not alot to ask

BrassicWoman

if she hangs up GO VISIT HER

sendig an arsey quasi legal letter won't get you what you want

ASK why she is keeping them

EXPLAIN why you want them

leave legal entitlement aside for now, you are dealing with emotions and they can;t be reasoned with by logic

After you've done that, reflect on the best course of action

Just to clarify a legal misunderstanding, theft is a matter of criminal law that would normally be pursued by the crown prosecution service in the magistrates court. If you wanted to take your mum to court, you would begin legal proceedings for conversion in the county court .

You already have the proof that you were left the specific legacy and she does not seem to claim to have a lawful excuse for taking possession of your personal property.

You have 6 years from when she took your property to take her to court, before you take her to court you have to send her a letter before action this might include:

Your name and address.
The reason for your claim.
A clear round up of the facts.
What you want your mum to do to put things right.
If you're claiming compensation for extra costs you've had as a result of the problem, you'll need to show how you have worked out the costs, including interest.
A list of any documents you'll be using to prove that you are owed the property.
An invitation to use alternative dispute resolution like mediation to sort out your problem, if you haven't already tried it.
A date by when you want your mum to give you a full response. 14 days is usual.
A request for any documents that you want your mum to provide which will help your case.
A reminder that you will start court proceedings if your mum doesn’t reply to the letter and that this may mean she will have to pay extra costs.
A reminder that both of you are expected to follow certain rules. These are set out in the Civil Procedure Rules and they aim to make sure the case is dealt with fairly.
