So my husband borrowed some money from his mother and when she redid her Will, it is stated that my husband still owes the money,( he does not deny this).Now she unfortunately has passed and his sister is sole executor, she is saying that the solicitor wants a letter Of deed from my husband and the quicker he does it the quicker they get any settlement.
Can he do one or does it come from he Solicitor ?
if he can do it what is written into the letter?

I suspect the lawyer wants to protect him/herself from any future problems before distributing...

Your husband could ask the lawyer if it's possible for (the lawyer) to put together a deed & have him sign & witnessed.... Cost should come out of the estate that way.
