The first task is to see if there is a will so I will get the wife together with the couple of sisters she talks with to apply for the LOA.
Then see what happens!!
There's no reason why the sisters who get LOA can't employ a solicitor to do the work of the estate - that way they will have someone as a barrier between them and any aggravation from their sisters.
They will also be able to point out that every delay, email, phone call, etc, to the solicitor will reduce the eventual inheritance - that can focus minds on allowing the job to get done.0 -
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
