Deaths, Funerals & Probate

A question about : What happens if a beneficiary to a will dies?

A question about : Useful references

Given how often the question arises I thought it would be useful to have a thread which provided useful resources on this subject, maybe it could become a sticky at some point? I'm happy to update this first post with any suggestions of other official/useful resources.

I wonder if anyone here knows about what happens when someone doesn't leave a will. This has happened with my grandma and I'm not getting far with trying to find out about it...

A question about : awkward sibling

probate granted five months ago, sibling saying not comunicating with her says she wants to contest will , constant harassment ,lying ,to solicitors ,false accusations wants money straight away but we want to wait until house is sold as we have still got expenses

A question about : does an executor have to keep beneficiaries informed

A question about : Will Writing Services Ltd

Hi there,

I recently decided to do make a will, as I have not done one ever and being in my 50's with a seperated husband I thought I'd get one done incase the old arteries popped or my car exploded or something. I saw a booth/stand for WSL-Ltd in my local shopping centre and decided to give them a try - turns out WSL's standard will service is Ј110 for a single will which includes a home visit to go over the persons' needs/finances and to produce the will. I dont think that's too bad a price compared to solicitors' fees.

A question about : Funeral attire- need help ASAP!

Hi all,

A question about : Anglia Research Services

We have been approached by a company called Anglia Research who tell us that we are likely beneficiaries from an intestate will. They will organise things for a whopping commission. Does anyone know how this can be investigated without handing over about a third of any legacy we are entitled to?

Thanks
