View answerSolicitors acting on behalf of the person named contacted the Inheritance Enquiry Unit of my Department on the 17th October 2012 to enquire about the 2012 single payment due to the estate of his late wife. My Department responded on the 19th October 2012 requesting bank account details and the usual testamentary documents. The solicitors acting on behalf of the person named informed my officials on the 3rd December 2012 that a Grant of Representation is not being extracted. Given the circumstances of the person named and the amount of the payment due to the estate my officials approved the release of payment which will now be made to the nominated bank account.
