Uncle's house is rented from the Council. His son doesn't have a key to the house, I do - only because Uncle wants to stop son getting into house and taking anything after he's gone, but what's to stop his son breaking in thinking that no-one has a key? Uncle has told me where everything is in the house (his papers etc) but can I legally go in there when he dies? The solicitor has the Will but who notifies the solicitor that uncle has died, his son might not even know there is a will never mind who his solicitor is. I can't understand why the son hasn't brought the subject of his father's demise up with him so that he can respect any wishes his father has for his funeral or anything. To be honest, from what my uncle says, it seems to us both that his son doesn't give a damn about his father, and only visits occasionally to show his face - he shows no concern for his father's welfare, his father is 83 and isn't in good health. There is obviously ill feeling on both sides.

I would suggest that you go into the house and get any papers that you might need. You are not entering illegally as you have a key and your uncle doesn't want his son to deal with it. You will have to let the solicitor know. I've been in a similar position and in the end i decided i loved my grandad more than my aunt so i was going to do what he wanted and not worry about upsetting my aunt and going against her and my mothers wishes. I am happy that I did.

If your uncle would like you to deal with his affairs when he dies, then he should write to the solicitor (give a copy to you) advising him of this and giving you authority to enter his house and correspond with the solicitor. If you are named as the executor of his estate in his will (i.e. the person who sorts out everything according to the wishes in his will) then you will have a right to enter the house since legally you are the person who is representing your uncle's wishes. However - this is all best sorted out by your uncle clearly stating and writing down what he wants to happen, and also it is your uncle's responsibility to advise his son to avoid any unpleasantness after his death. A suggestion: ask your uncle to record a video explaining his wishes and why his will contains the directions and instructions. When the will is read, if you are questions or get any unpleasantness, you can give a copy of this tape and say that it is truly your uncle's wishes.
Hope this helps.

Unless the will states that the house and contents belong to the son - it would be illegal for the son to enter or break in - it would be considered Breaking and Entering and a criminal offence.
Since the house is rented, the only person who can legally go into the house is the executor of the will, and the property owner, once the uncle is dead. The executor would be responsible for removing and distributing the uncle's property once he is dead.
Anything the son would take from the house would be considered theft - unless they are items that are left to him in the will.

you can legally enter his property after he dies,his son however,can be arrested if he breaks in regardless off who he is,im not sure who notifies ur uncles solicitor,there will be no harm in you doing it after his death.It looks like ur uncle respects you enough to give you a key and let you know where his paper work is in the event of his death, as regards to his son,talk to ur uncle and see what he really wants his son to do,if so get his solicitor to write a letter of some form outlining your uncles wishes regarding him,ie no access to his house in the event of his death or ask him to make you executor of the will.that way you control everything legally but have the support of his solictor.hope this helps and hopefully ur uncle has a few more years left to live

i don't think of it substitute into intentional. this is probably Obama substitute into misinformed with the aid of a relative concerning the story. this is not as though distinguishing between former Nazi concentration camps is user-friendly wisdom between individuals. Obama's super-uncle substitute into between the 1st American infantrymen to unfastened up Ohrduf, which substitute into the 1st camp liberated with the aid of individuals. i think of complicated it with the greater nicely-prevalent Auschwitz is quite comprehensible. in spite of everything, maximum individuals are fortunate in the event that they'd even discover Germany and Poland on a globe.

I know this sounds cruel but notify the son last, so that you uncle's wishes are carried out.this is assuming the son does not call his father often
