Thanks, I was starting to think that only significant intervention from me would get anything sorted.

The will was an Italian will written in Sicily, at an italian solicitor, no legal business was ever conducted in UK, My grandfather only came to the UK late on in life, and never took up British citzenship, etc, he was always purely  Italian in nationality. In fact he only knew a couple of words in English.There appears to be an issue with one section of land but still 8 years is a ridiculous amount of time, and from my perspective it seems like my relatives and/or the lawyer is obstructing the process. I see no real reason why it should take any more than 2 years maximum.Who do you think could get it moving in the right way,as it really frustrating that I can't progress.I saw a document showing the split of the assets back in 1992, and it detailed the split to each of the children. I believe my mother or aunty has a copy.

I have some issues that I could do with running past you guys :My Grandfather died 8 years ago, in fact it was 1992 when he intially wanted to gift the assets but the children couldn't agree, he was Siciian, although he died in the UK, he left a will, which divided his assets amongst his children,, and everyone in the end was reasonably satisfied with it all.  I have 2 uncles in Sicily, each live in a house which is currently registered in my grandfathers name but going to pass to them under the will, my mother and her sister both live in the UK, they get some land, which my grandfather used for his animals, but is now in quite a good position for building. There are some other plots that my uncles are to get along with the houses.In terms of children, my mother has 2 children, and one of my uncles in Sicily has 3 children, the other uncle and my aunty are un-married and have no children.I am a UK resident, and I can't understand why it has not been sorted out by now, I come from a background in accounting, it almost feels that some parts of my family are deliberately obstructing the process, I want to build on the section my mother is the get, once she transfers it to me, so that I can have a base in Sicily for my family for long holidays july/august, and potentially longer for myself once the children are older.There is supposed to be a legal representative but from what I can gather they are not much use. How can I get this thing moving ? Doesn't the Italian government pressure the process ?
