Fantastic!

The funeral is in an hour, somewhat happens as I am trying to get dressed and prepare for the event the Cooperative Funeral Company phone me and start discussing about giving me free advice about probate and that even with the forms I have sent for they say I may need some legal help. They say the meeting is free I don't have to commit to their quote, the meeting could last two hours and initially they are talking of charging £1,099 out of Mum's estate.

They also say probate can take 6-9 months to come through, if that was so I'd still get all the benefits I am receiving at present whilst we wait for Mum's money to be freed up so in some ways it would great if it takes that long to come through.

They are coming to see me on May 10Th 2012 at 10am.

With my luck it will come through quicker than that.

Fancy getting in touch with me before Mum is out of this world and I have that to think about.

They could give a few days to get over the funeral you'd think...

Its business, business, business...

I'm away to get dressed and have a few moments contemplation before I have to go to the service...
