AlanHo Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 For the past 10 years I have been a close friend and recently the attorney of a 94 year old blind veteran friend. He moved into a wonderful care home in Brighton 18 months ago because he could no longer manage on his own in his flat. https://www.blindveterans.org.uk/about-us/our-centres/brighton-centre/ Albert died last night after a short illness and I am off to Brighton tomorrow for a few days to organise his affairs. I am an executor of his will together with one of his nephews - who left for a 2 week sea cruise yesterday and will not be here to share the load. Hence I am unlikely to be on the forum much for a few days - you now know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted September 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Thanks for your warm wishes guys. The fun will come when I execute his Will - he changed it 18 months ago to reflect who has shown real care for him over the past 4 years since he was left alone when his wife died. He has no children - just an ailing brother who he expected to outlive and 6 nieces/nephews of which only one has kept in touch. When he was taken really ill 6 weeks ago some came crawling out of the woodwork in high expectation - but only one nephew is a beneficiary.

catgate Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I always used to think a beneficiary was a Jewish Fish and Chip shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
