    After responding to a Larke v Nugus request how long would be a reasonable time for the solicitors who now have had my response for 2 months to reply or let us know if they require further information from . This is in connection with a Will that was granted probate last February and the estate was distributed by June .

    I don't know, but in your position I would contact them again and ask precisely that question: at what point do they anticipate replying, either asking for more information or confirming that they're no longer interested.

    It as been 4 months since i replied to a Larke v Nugus reguest . Our solicitor as heard nothing from the solicitors who made the request . So our solicitor as told them if nothing is heard within 14 days they will consider the enquiry closed and i will  be free to distribute the the estate funds . So lets hope this is a end to the matter . Or am i been too optimistic.

    Give it 14 days and you'll find out! Fingers crossed you'll hear nothing more...
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    That is what we are hoping for. If after 4 months they have not made further enquires what might they be waiting for.

    They aren't necessarily waiting for anything; they may just not have bothered to reply.

    Thank you for your positive replies i really hope that just not botherering to reply is the reason we have not heard anything . Our solicitor did ask the charities solicitor to cover their costs for dealing with my reply to the Larke v Nugus request which they did agree to but cost to them would be minimal at the moment and they may be satisfied that the Will is valid hopfully.

    Why did your Uncle decide to change his will, on his deathbed?

    Why didn’t he write it down for the Solicitor to understand?

    Hi thank you for your interest and yes basic written instructions do exist he had very short private meeting with his solicitor but the solicitor would not engage with my uncle to to take his instructions further.
