To say it was a nightmare was an understatement...
I won't be moving again after this, it wasnt the end of the world but an experience I don't want again, girlfriend in tears, junior not know what the hell going on, me feeling like sh*t and I have let them down.

That just sounds like moving house in general.

That brings back memories. Seriously.

I didn't know that you'd been married to Karen Carpenter

Now all you have to worry about is the lost ghostly wraith standing at the end of your bed during the night

Yeah was out of my control, logically I should not have felt I had let them down but I did .... I learnt alot about probate in a very short period of time

Well, all well that ends well.

Now all you have to worry about is the lost ghostly wraith standing at the end of your bed during the night staring at you & the wife, while your son is imprisoned in the TV with a dead Indian brave.

In the end they got emergency probate but I did end up with my stuff in storage in a hotel for 9 days completed on Wednesday this week. To say it was a nightmare was an understatement more so because we had no idea when the emergency probate would be granted, everyday for the 9 we were being told today, then it didnt happen.

It wasn't your fault. In fact, you're the one who's pulled it back together in the face of a calamity that couldn't have been anticipated. You should give yourself a pat on the back

And congratulations on your new home

Excellent all sorted now anyway. I can always empathise with a bloke who likes big butts.

[mudskipper]

Well you're in now - crack open the bubbly and enjoy your new house!

[BrilloPad]

It was out of your control so how could you let them down?

He killed the vendor.

HTH

Can't you get some civil servant ATOS involved and have them deemed to be alive for the purposes of the house sale

FTFY

I'm going to proceed with the sale, emergency probate has been applied for and Im being told it should be granted today. The place is empty apperently some liciense can be issued to allow me to temp live there till completion. Ive lost complete confidence in my solicitors now though as Ive now seen the email the seller sent mine and its dated 2 Mondays ago, so my solicitor knew but either didnt pick it up or just didnt tell me I suspect its the first. My own solicitor not even calling me back considering I could be potentially homeless tomorrow they just dont care.

Ive got a plan B sorted storage and local premier in at 65 a night, though it appears all my seller has to pay is interest on my deposit for the period of the delay which comes in at 85 a day and this isnt a cheap property.
