Dear Graham
Three years ago my two sisters, J and G, and I received an inheritance when my parents passed away, a modest sum of £3,000 each. G lived out of the UK and had no UK bank, so J offered to pay it into her account. I was the executor so I duly paid both sisters' shares to J, expecting that she would get the cash out for G next time she was in the country.
For whatever reason, that didn't happen: G didn't ask for it. Now, though, she is back living in the UK. She has asked J for the cash, but J has been evasive: avoiding a reply, then saying she doesn't know, then changing the subject. This has happened a few times.
There is no financial reason why repayment cannot happen: J and her husband...
