Real Estate / Do we need to get a UK solicitor or a Polish one? [19]
My parents who lived in Poland have died & I wondered if anyone could help me by telling me what I need to do.
My parents owned a house outside Warsaw which has been for sale for a year. My dad died of a hearth attack in August 2009 and mum came to live with me i the UK. She has now also died recently and I am tying to deal with her finances. My mums friends in Poland have the key and have been dealing with the estate agents but I speak very limited Polish & they do not speak English. I know that mum recently went to court in Poland to get the house in her name after dads death and she managed to do this. I don't know whether my sister & I will now also need to go to Poland to court to get it into our names so we are allowed to sell it? Also do we need to get a UK solicitor to help or a Polish one?
Any help would be greatly appreciated at this difficult time, thanks.
