Report CSD15038

 

The Committee was informed that there was a debt owed to the Council arising from the late Miss Jean Ellen Castle’s client contribution for the cost of her residential care. Miss Castle had left a will, but the executor and sole beneficiary had both renounced their right to apply for a Grant of Representation. This meant that the Council could apply to the Probate Registry for a Grant as a creditor to Miss Castle’s estate, administer her estate and pay her outstanding debts.  

 

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to authorise Jim Kilgallen, Senior Solicitor, to act as its nominee to apply for a Grant of Representation to administer the estate of the late Miss Jean Ellen Castle.
