A couple of weeks ago my uncle agreed to hand over the administration of my grandmother. He wanted €0.50 per copy and €90 per hour for copying it, he estimated the total cost would be €1500. The solicitor dealing with the inheritance has mediated that my father and aunt would make a list of the things they wanted copies of, my uncle would take copies of those to the solicitor (he had an appointment this week) and the solicitor would make sure we got copies of the documents.
My uncle refused to make copies of about half of the documents my father and aunt wanted (which is suspicious IMHO), but today we got the rest of the copies. I'm not sure how long he thinks it takes to make copies but the pack of paper was about 30 double sided pieces of paper. Which proves our suspicions that he named €1500 to discourage us to have the copies made.
