Will Trust has ended

Hi Loretta,

Further to the above posts, I think you need to have a look at all the correspondence from solicitors and establish exactly who was dealing with the trust matter.

Was it for example the solicitors who dealt with your mother's estate, or did your sister appoint separate solicitors?

Whoever was acting should have kept you notified as to what was happening. It appears you may have gone with the flow or have simply been let down. For, if a share of that property legally became yours 12 years ago, I can't understand why you've been so passive for so long.

Before you make any complaints, I think you should write to the firm who were dealing with the matter (addressed to the partner in charge of their Wills/Probate section) asking if they are still acting in the matter.

If so, could they transfer the property to you as tenants in common. You then must sort out with your sister what's going to happen with the property.

Once the transaction is completed, if it was not to your satisfaction (either the issue of the tenants in common or previous historical issues), then you should express your dissatisfaction to the firm.

If they don't address your complaints to your satisfaction, you should then take it to the Law Society.

In the meantime, you really need to discuss with your sister what to do with the house.
