I recently lost my husband and unfortunately he had an ISA worth £20,000 with Ford Money, who refuse to refund it to me unless I can provide Grant of Probate. I have not had to do GOP because we had mirror wills and everything has automatically come to myself. This policy is the only one outstanding and Ford Money refuse to help me. I have seen a solicitor and they have quoted me £4,000 to £8,000 for GOP. My life has been so stressful dealing with all the necessary paperwork and now I have the added stress from Ford Money. You would think that they could show me some empathy and help me to close my husbands estate. It will cost me half of my husbands ISA to get GOP for this one policy surely there is another way especially as this was purchased with our money which we hoped to enjoy in our retirement together.
