We had hoped to push through the sale quickly and then do battle with him about the division of whatever is left and him having to pay back money. But of course it could never be that easy.
After my grandmother's death both my aunt and uncle, who were my grandmother's conservators signed over their rights to the solicitor. But that was years ago, and with the sale of the house well below market value (that being in an unoccupied state) the solicitor doesn't want to risk signing off without my uncle's approval.
My uncle also wants to divide the estate according to my grandmother's will, where my aunt will get less than him and my father. He influenced my grandmother to do this when her Alzheimer was getting worse. But the way my grandfather's will was set up it'll take precedent over my grandmother's will and the estate will be equally divided.
We're hoping, of course, that the solicitor succeeds in convincing my uncle. But I doubt they will. Luckily they are also past the point of negotiating with him, so hopefully next week we'll know what course we'll be needing to take.
As always, to be continued.
