It's an absurd scenario, imho. PB's should be considered in the same way as other monies/savings/property and go directly to the next of kin/according to the Will.
I hope they get it sorted without paying for basically....nothing in return.
I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how it...
Gotcha - fully understand now.
It's a pain having to go through probate - it seems only Premium Bonds seem to require this (over a £5K holding, I believe).
Is probate a costly exercise? When my father died, he had approx £5.5K of bonds, and luckily they didn't require my mother to go to probate...
Around 40 years ago (blimey, time flies!), a small group of us were sitting around smoking numerous exotic cigarettes, when a friend of mine curled his hand into a fist, flung his hand open and shrieked "Birth of an orange!".
This was followed by a brief stunned silence, before the inevitable...
Sorry to hear your bad, followed by good news, although how did your wife 'take them on'?
I understood they were strictly non-transferable, and could only be cashed-in by next of kin and obviously you're then able to purchase new bonds, if you so wish.
It might be worrying to you, and that's fine. Me? I'm genuinely not worried. Palmer played a blinder and all credit to him.
As I said earlier, shit happens.
Edit: And we were 'beaten by quality' - Palmer.
We could have won that game - it was a mess. They had Palmer...we didn't. It was so close to being 3-3 and then anyone's game.
Shit happens, but I'm not down about it, especially as most (including me) expected to lose this one.
