Accessing my dead husband's bank account

8 years ago

My husband ( English, as I am ) died in April this year,leaving money in a Foriegner's Bank Account,in Meknes. He did not leave a Will and I do not have Power of Attorney over his financial affairs. I do not know how to gain access to his bank account to withdraw money. Have you or anyone you know been in this situation ?Can anyone help or advise me?

I have been in touch with the British Consul in Rabat who cannot help other than to email me a list of Solicitors . I have contacted one of the solicitors on the list - an English speaking solicitor in Tanger. However, her English is not very good ( not good enough I feel to discuss important legal matters ) and, so far, she has not been very helpful. I sent her a list of questions one month ago and have not , as yet,received a reply even though I have sent her reminders that I am still waiting to hear from her and have, indeed, spoken to her on the telephone to remind her !I have also tried emailing other 'English speaking' solicitors in Tanger to ask for their help and have not received a reply.

I am frustrated and anxious. Can anyone help me ?
