Is the husband not your mum's father?If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0

How much do you think your Nan’s estate might be worth?
Is this her only property and who lives there other than you and your mum? How long have you lived there for?
And I disagree with a previous poster. The husband could vary the estate to give up his share if he chose to do so.I think the husband would also be first in line to deal with the estate if there is no will in place.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.2 -
solicitors will make hospital visits to write a will0

Is this unsigned will still available and does it broadly meet with her wishes? If so, it may be a quick solution to the issue if she is able to sign it?Beckz1205 said:He was very rude so my Nan complained and then he sent back her unsigned will and told her he couldn’t continue completing her will.1 -
This may be an option, though looking back to the first post, i see the lady is on EOL care, if she is receiving opiates etc then possible she may not be considered able to make these decisions. Very much depends how she is.nom_de_plume said:

Guess family need to get a solicitor there to speak to her - or maybe they do it via zoom etc these days?0 -

Hello all again, just an update that a will was found that my Nan had completed and had signed in 2020 which stated that both me and my mother were to be executors and beneficiaries of her estate (both real and personal) which is great and obviously what we wanted. I guess my Nan forgot she had done that will. Now the issue we are having is that her husband is being difficult with us regarding my nans belongings- I understand that we have the right to take her things to do with what we want but as I said he is being difficult when we are trying to sort things out- following us around telling us not to look in certain cupboards as he claims there’s nothing of hers in there or claiming that certain items are his that he purchased (which we don’t believe he did) and we also worry that he will/has been throwing away things… I just wanted to know if we have any legal right or if there’s anything we can do to stop him objecting/trying to dispose of things. We are currently going through the process of probate and we have to go through her belongings to see if there is anything of value but it’s been incredibly difficult and he isn’t listening to reason. TIA
