No will, intestacy

Savvy_Sue

There is one more step between contacting your aunt and going down the full contested route: if you either don't get a reply OR it suggests she has no intention of following the law, you could get a solicitor to write and remind her of what the law says. That may do the trick, if she knows that you know she is doing wrong.

Bit confused. When did your nan die and what has happened with her house in the meantime? Did both your dad and nan die without leaving wills?

Nan died years ago but house not in land registry as owned by family for generations dad had deeds but wouldn’t give them to my aunt when she passed I handed them over to her. Dad had a will yes but don’t see why that’s got to do with anything 

Assuming Nan didn’t leave a will, the house will have been inherited by your Dad and your aunt 50/50. 

Bear in mind there will be legal work needing to be done before the house can be sold. It will need to be registered and Land Registry may require some proof of ownership.
