Because the son made a complaint to the crematorium the police had to get involved as it was deemed as suspicious. The undertaker had a visit from the police asking the circumstances of the cremation, when he explained whats what to the police they left saying everything was in order, this took less than 30 seconds! They never came to see my husband!
My main concern is the gifted money he gave us as dad in law asked me to write the cheque but he signed it. As I previously said, he did ask the solicitor if it was ok for him to make this gift.
I have just come across a doctors letter dated Jan 2013 regarding the LPA for my husband. The doctor states, having reviewed the patient today regarding concerns from the family that the point has been reached for the LPA to be put in force.The patient is aware of the arrangements and is supportive in their implementation.
This has all rollerballed because the son is getting wrong information from my husbands brothers wife. This brother hated the deceased and vice versa he would have nothing to do with him, on the rare occasion he went in the house he completely blanked him, when dad in law was in the nursing home he and his wife got hold of his bank card, pin number was kept with it in his wallet. They robbed over five grand over a period of time. We discovered this when we got the quarter bank statement as hubby had POA by then. My husband demanded they put it back or he would go to the police, they had opened a separate account, at the same bank, so it was drawn then deposited straight after. Since then the wife went to dad in laws son and filled his head with lies. This is where he is getting all this wrong information from. I bet she never mentioned this to the son!
Also in the solicitor letter it states about the transfer of gift money showing on the bank statement. How the hell did they get hold of DIL's bank statement, did they rifle through his drawers or intercept his mail???
