Mrs Oeuf had a call from an Aunt on her mums side of the family to say she had been contacted by a solicitor in Australia and should expect, as should her siblings, a call from him about a distant relative who had pegged it in Oz.......should I start rubbing my hands in glee or could it be something less exciting?

cue a big fat tax bill that hasnt been paid and has accumulated... now you need to pay off several hundred thousand dollars before you can find out what the final amount is.

Can we be liable for a foriegn tax bill? from all accounts he had quite a large ranch type thing so I don't think there were any tax issues anyway
