Locating accounts due to missing paperwork

Good afternoon,

Just hoping someone might be able to offer some advice at all.

My auntie is in a care home and sadly not of sound mind. Last month her husband (my uncle) sadly passed away from a heart attack.

My mother (aunties sister) is in the process of applying for the property and financials deputyship.

My uncles sister went to the house shortly after his death and took a vast amount of documents/recent post along with his tablet and PC. As such, all we could find was a bank statement from 2019. We're working through it contacting the companies cancelling DD. Without all the recent documents, it's proving difficult. His sister isn't very forthcoming with any information for some unknown reason.

Just wondered if anyone else had been in a similar situation that might be able to offer some advice.

Who are the executors of your late Uncle's estate? Liase with them.

There are no executors. No will had been made.

So we're presuming (maybe wrongly, this is all new to us) that everything has gone to his wife. As she is not of sound mind, my mother is applying for deputyship to handle all this on her behalf.

Set up a re-direct on the mail and get that sent to your mum's house?

Do auntie and uncle have children?

Many thanks for that. My mother did not have a key for the property and needed to get some items to to take for my auntie to the care home. Spoke to the council and they said as NOK she could change the locks, so there is no issue of doucments going missing now.

They had no children.
