Sending strength sd That's such a pain jabberknit. I wonder if it's branch specific or has changed. We had absolutely no issues with the Skipton when Dad died in 2017. |

What are they actually asking the beneficiaries to acknowledge jk? I think we had to do something like that for a deed of variation but I can’t see it being necessary otherwise. I wonder if they have got the wrong end of the stick. Sorry for your loss sd - hope the bureaucracy isn’t too bad… |

We got through an email to verify who we were. They wanted photographic ID then a selfie both scanned and sent back via email and that was it.

It may be because the amount is 'between £5,000 and £30,000', and I don't have probate - haven't actually needed it until this! I'm calling the Skipton tomorrow to clarify.

Sorry to hear this stilldreaming. Also in the middle of the bureaucracy following mum's death. Has been pretty straightforward so far - apart from the post office losing the id I sent them - fortunately just a photocopy of my driving licence. Have to send a new copy, but will again have to find someone from the approved list of professions to certify that it's a true copy of a seen original. It's a minor inconvenience but is trying when you're in the middle of it. |

stilldreaming
Things progressing quite well. Starting to clear a few things from the house while we're up here, but feelng all sorts of emotions from anger through to sadness and maybe some jealousy? This has been Mr SD's family home for 60+ years and holds many memories for him. We never had our own home and moved 5 times before I was 18, so I don't have any real connection with where I grew up. To be honest, I'm quite surprised at how I feel 😕

Don't judge yourself stilldreaming. How you feel is how you feel. I can understand feeling jealous in the circumstances. It's a reminder of what you missed out on.

Despair here. Is a section 113 permanent? Who becomes responsible for mental and physical wellbeing? They broke mum’s door down prior to sectioning her and the locksmith gave her the keys. They have moved her to a care home against her will so she has now spent over four weeks with no coat, one change of clothes, no change of underwear and no child able to get into the house. As far as i can tell, she is now in permanent care in the same state. They must have put her new house keys in the safe, but all oarties are denying all knowledge of having them. She has only just accepted a visit from me but still feels we are all responsible for this. They think she has an attachment disorder. She wouldn’t believe me on the date on Sunday but i can’t rule out that she is just terrified and it seems so similar to an autistic meltdown

Serendippily - is your mum on a Community Treatment Order? Does she live in Scotland or England/Wales? It sounds awful and must be some distressing for you and her but the powers should only be used where there is a genuine fear that life is in danger.
