If you dislike her so much and aren't bothered about future money/property coming your way - why would you care when she pops her clogs ?0

Agree with this.
If she’s as vile as you say just stop calling and forget she exists.0 -
I doubt any solicitor would contact you if a client of theirs became ill or had died unless there was a specific reason. For example, being named in their will.
You've written extensively about your Nan on here and obviously still feel very bitter about the situation. What do you plan to do if she became ill or died?Saving money right, left and centre0 -
Like others I am mystified why you contact her regularly let alone care what happens when she dies.
Just cut off all contact and be done with her.0 -
I'm with others on this. I don't have contact with members of my family who I like for months or even years on end. Why do you contact someone you hate so much once a month?
And why do you want to know when she dies?0 -
just stop speaking to her on the phone - she can't hurt you any more.0

In the hope of inheriting, of course.0 -

So you immediately jumped to the conclusion that she was rewriting her will?? (I should say at this point, my Nan is an evil, coldhearted selfish witch who used her money to keep everyone at hand...borderline bribery at times, and something I didn't want to accept.) I "was" going to be left her house and money etc, however, I can put money on the fact she's written me out of the will just out of spite.
I've accepted this, and know that moving away was best for my family and I promised I would never be bribed by her money. And for all I know, she could potentially live to 100 and need to sell her house to be put into a home.
I speak to her around once a month (once a month too much). So why go on doing it - what sort of martyr are you? To be honest, my life is better without her. Sounds like you've answered your own question...However, one thing I do worry about it is: how will I know if she's ill / had an accident or died. Why are you 'worried about it' - afraid that she might have left you the loot after all and you won't know immediately? Executors can trace people, you know! I very much doubt her son will bother getting in touch (he's only back for her money - part of the reason he didn't see her for over 20 years!)
Is there any way I can contact her Solicitor to ask to be kept informed when the time comes? Why would you need to know? Read your own comments above and move on
Having read this and your previous thread, I can only wonder why on earth you felt the need to post this one at all.0
