My uncle >>recently passed away.> snip Rosemary, Reminds me of when my Gran died, leaving a house in France to be sold. French law requires all heirs to sign off and agree that estate property should be sold. Took over 2 years to get all the signatures of aunts & uncles and then a group of cousins bought it. Found after a few years that it was too cold & damp (Brittany). Then it took 3 years to get everyone to agree to sell it, even though all had bought their own houses in Provence, Malta etc. An absolute family nightmare. Ginny in Victoria, BC -
