Help with death of relative

Cenczp1

The court papers did not say how much the estate was worth only that it did not exceed 56k. There was originally 60k in this account as my mum was the k e who set the account up for him. Great uncle lived very humbly and lived off his pension, he never went out and had silly amounts of money stashed in the house which he refused to put in banks as he didn't trust them (but I don't expect to see any of that). Only reason this account was opened was that it was money he inherited from his brother and had to be paid into an account. That money was sat untouched for many years. So even though I know he would have had to pay his care over the last few weeks when he was in the hospice and his funeral costs but I still expect there will have been a large amount left. Also the fact I was met with hostility on asking and all the secrecy makes me think they have something to hide.
