Any solicitors on here? Credit agency advice if possible.

No...do not make provision......issue a proof or desist!!

Sorry Maurice, I mean pay some money to the beneficiaries if they are in need and ask for the money, while retaining enough to pay the debt if they have to eventually?

Mind you if solicitors did get involved it would be better to retain a larger amount to pay the debt and cover the solicitor's fees.

Anyway, good luck Bob, let us know how it pans out!

Well...with the best will in the world I would not do that...proceed as I have suggested.....from experience!! No solicitor needed.....I sorted out my own - which were over 100k!!

Surely until you have a deed of probate you cant make payments, and that wont be granted until all debts are settled.

That is correct....only funds needed for immediate expenses like funeral costs or mortgage payments may be accessed before probate.

Yes of course but he said everything else has been done, I took it to mean he had probate and this raised its head after probate was issued as it's a debt they wouldn't have declared as they didn't know about it.
