Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I am looking for some help my father was a named beneficiary in his parents will but unfotunately died before both my grandparents. Both grandparents have died now and my fathers sibling has dealt with the 'will and probate' themselves.
The whole estate has now been put in the name of my father's sibling and we never saw the will?? would my father's share not go to his wife (my mum) or my father's children?
My understanding is that if there is no sucession clause (ie left to him or his children on his earlier death) built in and a beneficiary has died, his share will be split between the remaining benficiaries, so if he just has one sibling, (s)he'll get it all.
I'm not 100% sure though, so worth wiating for an expert.
