I inherited some money when my mother died and had it in my UK bank account until the bank found out I was living in the US. At the time I was heavily in debt to the IRS and they had cleared out my US bank accounts, so in a moment of panic I transferred the funds into my sisters UK account for safe keeping, she had to sign papers stating that the money was indeed hers, something to do with money laundering.
I am now free of debt and wish to have the funds returned, my sister invested the money into the stock market with the intention of leaving it to me in her will when she dies. I am not crazy about this state of affairs and wonder if anyone here has any idea how I can legally get the money back under my control.
I just contacted the solicitor who handled mom's estate but he said it was a litigation case and they don't do that. As far as I know there will be no dispute re the money being returned.
Any ideas?
Thanks
