@Blazey_Oye However, assuming he has a will and figures are stated and this (£12k) isn’t, the money still passes to the main beneficiary. It’s likely he died without a will, in which case, have a sit down with the family and a 3rd party representative as to how the money will be returned.
@Blazey_Oye You’re welcome. His will, if he has one may state that his property and or finances be passed to (A) or (B) and this will include his money in your possession. Also, wills these days may not state exact figures, if this is the case, the money passes to his beneficiary.
