As of today we were informed that the uncooperative one would need to sign the form as well as provide PPSN.I think all you really need is the pps number. My BIL refused to supply the executor of his mother’s estate with his pps number as he “was grieving too much”. Luckily the executor found it in some paperwork in the mother’s house, so no one has to wait for the grief to lessen.
What the solicitor will probably do is distribute the estate to all the beneficiaries and hold the last persons in the client account until he decides to provide the detail needed. Hopefully the solicitor will apply an annual fee to do this and eventually it may run down to zero. (I am assuming that the assets are converted to cash in this case and the beneficiary was not left half a house, or something similar).
Was that by the solicitor ?As of today we were informed that the uncooperative one would need to sign the form as well as provide PPSN.
Troublesome person has gone no contact, unfortunately. Hangs up when solicitor phones, etc.Could you ask the troublesome person to disclaim their inheritance, in other words, if he is frightened of the taxman, don't accept the inheritance. ?
Put it in writing on a solicitor letter, failing that, someone may have to knock on his door. Failing that, there may need to be a family "intervention" . It's also quite possible he/she are in an unnecessary panic.Troublesome person has gone no contact, unfortunately. Hangs up when solicitor phones, etc.
The solicitor has said it will have to go to probate.Assuming this person has no additional needs & in the full of their health, I wouldn't waste any more time. If either of those conditions apply, then naturally your approach will be different.
My guess is they are not 100% in good standing with Revenue.
Proceed without them, as has already been outlined.
When probate is granted, give everyone else their share & leave this one in the bank. They can have it when they decide to co-operate.
and that's fine - proceed with probate, and when the time comes to divy up, leave this person's share in the bank. they can have it when they co-operateThe solicitor has said it will have to go to probate.
