Hi everyone
I found out this year that my father (who I'd never had contact with) had died over 2 years ago, and had left me £25,000 in his last will and testament (I have a copy of the will from public record).
However, the executor is my brother (who I've also never met) who inherited the majority of the estate, and after some difficulty in getting a response out of him, he has responded saying that I was removed from the will as a beneficiary.
The copy of the will that is on public record does have codicils on it, but they do not relate to the money I've been left.
My brother has now stopped contact, and I'm unsure of what the next step is!
The document is a high court document from the district probate registry at Oxford, but there is no contact details for anyone other than the executor (my brother).
Any advice please on how to proceed?
