Hello, just need some information on the distribution of a will. I have just been asked to sign a will request from a solicitor to request the original will from my mother's original solicitor. At the appointment I enquired about the amount of the monies involved and noticed a discrepancy of approx 80,000.00 dollars from three undisclosed term deposit accounts. I have the copies of the statements and have requested the solicitor call me as I have a query. I would like to clarify the term deposts with the solicitor.
If the accounts are not accounted for in the information the solicitor has received what would be the course of action if I inform the solicitor of the accounts? Would this be a contest of the will or would the other family member be penalised for not disclosing all the funds. I would rather not have to drag this out through costly court dealings.
Appreciate your feedback.
Thank you.
