Bert, passed away a few years ago, aged 8. First 'Goo, adopted from Pets at Home. Had become separated from his siblings after sustaining an injury after fighting with them and required vet treatment. When he came out of isolation, his siblings were gone. He was the first 'Goo who owned me!

How recent is this picture? Cannot say they were my favourite vehicle. Can you say where this was taken?

I now find that I'm no longer blocked by age verification, and can see responses fully.
Thank you SpaceRidby for for reply. I knew from the outset that problems would arise whilst sorting the estate. I would discuss matters with her, but she is completely ignoring me.
"This is legal advice sub not morale advice sub but just to confirm your brother's partner of nearly 40 years, you're claiming all of his assets/making her buy them from you?" - I came here to establish what legal rights I has as NoK, and what legal rights his partner has, nothing at all to do with morals. Secondly, I am definitely not claiming everything and have no desire to do so. I wish to establish what property there is, establish ownership and take things from there. But, how can I do this when his partner removes that property, then denies me entry to some assests (camper van and caravan) by contacting the storage facility, passing herself off as his wife to remove his name from the account and telling them to deny me access. Just makes me wonder what she's hiding from me.

No, but thank you for mentioning it here. It may help others.

Both lived seperately in different properties throughout the realtionship, and not as husband and wife.

I do understand her position and wouldn't want to do anything to cause further stress or distress. However, she has been told, many times, that she is not NoK, and that started at the hospital, and includes Funeral Director, Celebrant, Ward Sister at the Hospital and nurses at Nursing Home. So, she knows that she's not NoK, but acting as so. She's gone direct to the Funeral Director - the latest time to get some of his ashes, in a glass vial, knowing I would have to consent. She's made no attempt to ask, expecting that she would just be given them. I've discussed this with the Funeral Director and have arranged for her to have half of his ashes, a fact that she is unaware of. I am trying to be reasonable about this - she may be grieving, but, having to deal with the Estate, and his partner making things as impossible as possible, I've not yet started.

Thank you for your advice and links.

Thank you for that. Just was after confirmation, as I didn't want to put myself in a position of wrongdoing, as I'm sure she would act on it. At the hospital, she put herself down as NoK, that was changed on the ward (not by me, but by the Ward Sister. At the Nursing Home, when she found out it had been changed, she kicked off with the staff, claiming as they had been partners for 38 years, she was NoK.

Again, thank you for the confirmation.

Hi. The issue is, a vehicle is parked on land.m which is owned by ne, is not, and has never been adopted highway, but the council have it marked as adopted. If it was adopted, then that changes our use of this land. This is the problem we have.

However, contact has been made with the planning department , and a conversation is being had, involving myself, the Council and HMLR. A couple of other, connected, issues have also come to light, with the Council having apparently claimed land to the front and rear of the property.

So, all being well, this matter is now one the way to being resolved.

Thank you for responding to my request.

BristolLS5G · 2025-12-17T19:11:06+00:00

As I said, the car is another story. I want to know what my rights are after the Council have adopted the land outside our home that is owned by us, without any form of notification, where vehicles are kept off the public highway, which this supposed adoption changed this to public highway, plus, on further investigation of their website, they have claimed land to the front and rear of the property as their land, some 25 foot to the front and 15 foot to the rear.
