named in a will..

sls02101

update - I asked him about it and he said that the account was signed over to me when I was 16 to that my grandma didn't have to pay tax on it and the will is now settled. he then left very quickly.
the will states that the account and any interest accrued at the time of death would go to me and would be exempt from any inheritance tax.
at 16 it would be my parents responsible for this money anyway wouldn't it?
I have not received any money from my grandma anyway so I will be seeking advice on this matter tomorrow

Is your uncle any more helpful than your father?

Who was named as executor?

I wounder why he won't show you the evidence that he signed the account over to you!

This morning I have contacted the solicitor who was used to sort out the probate etc for this will, basically told me she's not interested and that I have to speak to my dad as he is the one with the authority to distribute the estate/money.
The whole situation is very suspect

I think it would be better to speak to a solicitor in a different firm who has nothing to do with your family - solicitors do sometimes claim "conflict of interest" as a way to get out of having to deal with these sorts of issues.
