My husband ( English, as I am ) died in April this year, leaving money in a foriegner's bank account, in Meknes. The account is in his name ONLY ;it was not a joint account . He did not leave a Will and I do not have Power of Attorney over hisfinancial affairs. I have no idea how I can access his account to withdraw money. Have you or anyone you know been in this situation ? How did you/they resolve the matter ? Can anyone help or advise me ?
I have already been in touch with the British Consul in Rabat, who cannot help me other than to email me a list of solicitors. I have contacted all the English-speaking solicitors in Tangier who are on the list . Only one of these solicitors has got back to me. I sent her a list of questions a month ago and I have, as yet, received no reply - despite having sent her reminders saying that I am still waiting to hear from her. I've even spoken to her on the phone to remind her !! I am truly frustrated and very anxious.
I am currently in Spain but will be coming over to Morocco ( Tangier and Meknes ) in October to try and sort out the matter. In the meantime,can anyone tell me what I need to do to access my dead husband's bank account ?
