Ian,
My Nan died.on the Saturday of a bank holiday.
So on the Tuesday we set about sorting things out, and we notified the council, the cheeky mare actually put her hand.out for the keys...yes she expected us to give her the keys back there and then.
Then she said about handing back the property on the Friday. When my sister and I said that wouldn't be enough time as we had lots to do sorting things, plus we had families of our own to tend and Nan lived the other side.of the borough and neither of us drove ( so nightmare moving things)
The council worker got really atrophy and said we'd be liable for any rent etc. No mention of the estate being liable, she actually emphasized the fact that my sister and I would be liable.
My sister had to restrain me at one point.
We finally agreed on a date just under three weeks away.
So less than three weeks to clear the house Nan had lived.in for 80+ years plus organise the funeral etc and look after our families at the same time.
Somehow we managed it.
We then got the demand for the rent owed told them the estate was insolvent after the funeral had been paid. And to be fair they accepted that.
Pity the other council dept wasn't so nice.
We received a bill for £1500 for clearing the house.
We'd left the three piece suite, one wardrobe, a coffee table and an almost brand new cooker.
They sent us photos with the invoice to back up their claim. These included the local directory we'd left on the stairs for the next tenant, and the pile of EMPTY boxes we'd forgetting to flatten and put out for recycling. Along with the sofa, wardrobe and table. Funny enough no photo of the cooker complete with instructions!!!!
They was told no money in estate, but we had several threatening letters requesting the money before they gave up. Really wasn't what we needed at that point.
I apologise for the rant but I am still angry about it almost ten years later.

kbcalypso,
Wish it was that simple. She wasn't in hospital she was claiming benefit she wasn't entitled to. DWP won't speak with me as I am not executor. Luckily their dept recovery dept is open until 8pm. So OH who is the executor can call when he is home from work.
They first contacted as when the grant of probate was granted, asking for more informed by a certain date early August. This was supplied.
Next contact was Jan 2015 asking for bank account balances.on two dates. To be provided by a Feb date. Also supplied. Tho it took longer than it should as one bank supplied the wrong info, because they didn't listen n. Yes it was Barclays again!!!
We discovered.end of May that Barclays had not followed.our instructions and there was still an account held by the deceased.
We notified dwp investigation on hold whilst we dealt with Barclays. Investigation has now been resumed.
How much longer they will take.....your guess is as good as
mine.
There is money owed we agree, just a question of how much.
Coastwalkers, it's been an interesting learning curve that's for sure.
Which number are.you dialling btw?
