 Theres no probate filed either that I can find on record.

Did he have property etc to qualify for probate?

no I guess not in the true sense.
They had the house, but I assume thats joint.
He had a lot tools. but very little value.
PushBike. No car. did everything on that bike.

So I guess nothing to be honest. I will try contact with the lawyers after lockdown. Could be weeks away.

Peter

Under those circumstances I doubt that anything went to probate even today an estate needs to be over $15,000 before it needs to go to probate.

Still worth trying to find the lawyers who acted when presumably the property was transmitted to the survivor.

Part quote from first post........

"One reason I offer is we were brought up to call our elders aunt and Uncle.
Even neighbors so it is near impossible I would say."


Are any of those elders still alive? What about the neighbours? **Looks as if we/you are going to have to dig deep on this one. I think perhaps it might be case of 'WHO is my father'....

**Information could be obtained from the electoral rolls but don't put up the names on the forum.

I have contacted KiwiPeter about this matter and he has given me permission to put the information on the forum.

I am 'flying a kite' here. It is only a hunch, but in view of what we know and more to the point, of what we don't, I am wondering if this may be the man being sought? His death does not appear on NZ BDM but in case he may still be alive and therefore not KiwiPeter's father, I don't want to show the name.

all very interesting, was it possible to just change your name and the new name carries on into everything without being checked or questioned??

I mean we have court documents for the divorce. Mine and my brothers birth Certificates.

Surely there are some checks made some where along the way. If Ronald had a service number, did he in fact serve. Or was the name change to avoid that. More questions.

Thanks to those that are trying. In these troubled times it is very heartening.
