Wow thats an amazing story. Even worse than mine. I bet this is a very common scenario too. Seems like the worst thing a person can leave…

going through now...

the executor is the uncle - like i said, Dracula in charge of a blood bank.

Yes they say money is the root of all evil and it certainly seems the case. As mentioned, she should have made a clear will that designated…

I'd say my uncle will claim that he took the cash with his mum's blessing - like a gift etc - she's not around the confirm or deny.

this had already occured to me. Do the ATO follow up on these tips? This would seem to be pretty small fish

A sad yet familiar story. Like I keep telling my wife, its worth 100K to have these horrid people out of our lives so they can play no…

he is outcast from the family anyway. We were not close even before this happened, hence his total disinterest in leaving anything in the…

Yes I know! I did look into legal action and stopped when I saw that a junior lawyer was going to cost me $450 an hour. I estimate around…

Lucky you found out. No loss at all.

just because people are related to you doesn't mean they are good people and you should keep them in your life. I wish I realized this…

i'd love to but these people are not worth going to jail over.

wow that all sounds very familiar. I think it gets back to the sloppy will (as in my case) that was made in the first place. Something as…

i wouldnt take it that far - its not enough money to warrant the time or expense in fighting it. If we were taking hundreds if thousands…

you're right - we'd be pissing it up against a wall there. Its more of a principle thing for us really as we know funds have been…

yes it does however there is more missing than just this. Rental income from her unit plus her pension. If everything was above board Uncle…

there's nothing left - zero. I have conceded we wont get any money, we are really just curious to see how quickly he burned through the…

wow, you really dont have a clue do you? I cant even answer that as you are wrong on so many points.

if you bothered reading my posts would you have seen that it was my uncle himself who told us there was 100K in the account?

haha nice one :)

i think this is good sensible advice. Thank you

hahaha! Thanks I needed a laugh :)

yes totally up to interpretation.

he says there is no doubt that we've been duped but he won't do anything about it as all he is interested in is a quick sale of the…

Would not get the lawyers involved - they are even more dodgy than my uncle.

The will simply said that her apartment was left to her sons and her savings were left to her grandkids. She had a generous war pension and…
