Sooo.. we're to start. My father is heavily disabled and after leaving my mum he decided to have his parents look after him, who have now both passed. Childhood was hard as we clashed and they usually kept dad away from us.

During a tribunal I took them too, as I wanted to become the carer/decision maker for dad, we found out my uncle took over 60k to build him a nice granny flat at the back of my grandparents house to which they all resided. The judge found it all off as my uncle said my dad just let him have it, truthfully even if he said yes - he isn't sound of mind and knew the kind of man he was so probably didn't put up a fight being in a vulnerable position. In the tribunal they granted Dad to have a Financial manager who would take care of his funds and if anything else were to be taken, to have proof and explain why.

Once my grandparents died, my uncle swooped in instantly and started selling items in the house to start his own renovations. He would have cashed what he made from my grandparents items and used it towards renovation.. along with possible inheritance. It made me question how he even had the money to renovate as he doesn't have a job and is claiming government assistance as a "carer".

When I called Dads financial manager to ask if any funds, between dates after they passed to now had been submitted they said no. Nowww, due to the absolute scum my uncle is and being the only person around to call his own shots - i feel as though he hasn't done things properly and clearly hasn't given Dad his share of the will.

Not to mention the property itself shouldn't have been renovated before being distributed between Dad and my uncle. My uncle divided the main front house in half, allowing himself to create a 1 bedroom 'apartment' and also renting out the grannyflat he once built for himself. All the payments he gets, I have no doubt it would be a cash in hand job.

Where can I even start with this? Im trying to track down the will to see what it even says but its not that easy.

My uncle is scum of the earth as you've probably gathered. He's taken advantage of his Disabled brother and I just want Dad to have his equal share. My drop kick uncle and Mail order bride definitely shouldn't be getting a dime.
