Interest on money left for a child in a will

202 Posts


My son was left 10k in his grandfather's will in 2009, and the money has been held for him since, he was discussing with the executor and they have advised that it's not gained any interest as it was "held" for him. Seems a bit off to me, I imagined it would have accrued some sort of interest. Anyone have any knowledge of such things. Oh I'm in Scotland of that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance

Have you ever asked?*
Sadly, we've read things like this before ☹️
Some trustees can't be trusted.
I so hope I'm wrong.🤞🏼
*ETA - If not, do it today. Ask to see the latest statements (or a screen shot if they say one isn't available) for both children's money. If there is no problem and nothing to hide, they should be happy to be transparent with you about it all. If they delay/stall/or ignore, then you might have a problem.
I don't think they HAVE to tell/show you, but why wouldn't they if everything is as it should be.
