    My sister has withdrawn money from an ATM the day after my mum's funeral
    Can some one help? My sister has done something dreadful since my mum died. I now have proof she withdrew 70 pounds the day after our mum's funeral at a golf retail centre. She has also laundered 20.000 pounds and transferred money into a new bank account she opened.

    I am an executor to mum's will, and she will not pass any financial or any other paperwork to me. All I have is a death certificate and mum's will.

    I'm devastated she has done this.

    If you are executor, it is your job to go to the bank and provide documents proving it and put a hold on bank accounts, and go to the probate court with the death certificate, and notify insurance companies and so on. If she is an executor too, you have more of a battle on your hands and might need a lawyer. I have a feeling she lived with your mother and you are farther away?

    I really don't know for sure how it's done in the UK, but here I would advise you that the fact you are nominated as executor in the will does not automaticaly make you the executor. You still have to apply to the probate court and be officially appointed executor. I suspect it may be the same thing there. If so, only with the document from the court would banks and insurance companies recognize you.

    If you don't have the will, and your sister is in a foreign country, it may be difficult to force her to give you the will and the other papers. So I suggest you apply to the court to be appointed executrix, explaining the situation, and that would enable you to freeze the assets, so that your sister cannot take anything more.
