Hi
Not sure if anyone can help, but I thought I'd ask. Is it 'usual' for solicitors to hold on to monies received when handling estate administration until, for example, the fiscal year processing suits them?
I ask because the final part of the dealings (selling the house) was completed two months ago and as far as I am aware, all monies are in. However, when trying to approach the solicitor, he is not replying to emails or returning phone calls. It has been several weeks since his last communication. I am just wondering whether he is waiting for tax year end so he can "balance his books" to suit his requirements. Is this likely.
Perhaps I'm just being paranoid and he's really busy?!
