It seems the source of the camera money had mortgaged his house to one of those asset realising companies, and some years ago. I've got 10% of not very much.

I've gone from £50-60,000 to a few hundred in an apologetic phone call...

Still, from the reception I got from the NoK at the funeral, I think there might have been a challenge. It seemed they thought I would not be 'getting away with it'...

I'd want to find out whether the drop of 99% is down to genuine accounted-for equity release or family action. I haven't been involved in a contested Will but I'd have thought you'd get to put your side at some kind of hearing. £50-60K is worth fighting for IMHO.

I'm entitled to a full 'inventory' it seems, due to the value of this house, despite it not being 'his'. A couple of things have gone from the house, according to a neighbour - she got 15% - notably two art deco vases. Quality stuff. I know the executor, really genuine. I'd trust anything he said. He's gutted about telling me I was suddenly much richer. The old boy kept everything quiet. Even his kids didn't know. They are furious, but then if they'd seen him more often, perhaps they'd have been told. I never liked them.

For a while I had a new camera, so better than never having had one.

I liked the old boy - good value once you got him talking.

I wonder if the neighbour got her 15%, or was knocked down to buttons too? Worth asking.
