England / Re: Stuck! No probate record - anything more I can do?
« on: Friday 13 February 15 00:44 GMT (UK) »You need to contact the local Council of the place he was living at the time of his death, they have the responsibility trying to locate relatives, and of clearing his accommodation and disposing of his effects, along with arranging his funeral. They should be able to tell his next of kin all the necessary information.

Thanks Jebber - I'll contact them and if they don't want to speak to me then I can tell his daughter/grandson to try it as they would surely qualify as NOK
It's a shame as they must have searched for them but were unsuccessful. Admittedly his descendants were not in the same country but he had siblings still living in England at the time he died and they must not have found them either.
