My grandchildren have learned their father has died. Both managed to get back for the funeral and were amazed to discover their father had been living in a nursing home, (he owns his own house) but his brother has a key and it appears he has beenkeeping an eye on him and has removed all his records for safe keeping. One of those records was details of £5K he owed me. I do not know if he had a will or how much his estate was once the nursing home has taken its fees. We don't even know the

You would need to find out who the executors are as they are the ones responsible for settling the estate, i.e. valuation, paying any IHT due, paying outstanding bills, collecting overdue pension, tax refunds,
paying credit cards etc.
When someone dies their estate is frozen and then only after has probate
been granted can they then settle any unpaid bills, outstanding loans,
credit cards, debts etc.
You would also need to show evidence of the £5k so you could inform the executor that teh deceased's brother has the document(s) in his possession.

My problem is how do I find who the executors are?By availing of a process known as a "Standing Search". It was discussed
here in detail earlier in the year.
The links are here: https://www.gov.uk/search-will-probate
It will cost £3

The obvious question is what records of the £5k debt do you have?

The obvious question is what records of the £5k debt do you have?Records are indeed valuable .
My parents owned their house(just a room and kitchen really) but in
order to get a 'better' home from the council they had to be homeless
the house was 'signed over' to an aunt on a Grace and Favour basis on
the understanding that the house was to revert to my brother and I on
their death . However this understanding was verbal. As my aunt (and
uncle) were now patients of a psychiatric hospital they could no longer
write wills . So died intestate the house was sold by the immediate
family (five sisters and two brothers) dad and one aunt having died.
So if we had had some record of the house reverting to us brother and
I would have gotten the proceeds of the house sale

I have tried that link many times over the last few days and it will
not allow me to complete the form. Is there another method folks?
I recommend trying a different browser. If you're using Safari, try
Chrome or vice-versa.
If that doesn't work, you could try e-mailing contactprobate@justice.gov.uk
If you are technically proficient, the court service Tech Support can be contacted at MyHMCTSsupport@justice.gov.uk However, be advised that the techies can be, shall we say, a little bit snarky and they have a
plethora of officials reasons at their fingertips ready to deploy at a moment's notice if they decide they do not want to help you for whatever reason.
