My elderly, British father married a much younger, Filipino lady a couple of years ago. He passed away last year without writing a new will and she is therefore entitled to most of his estate, even though his children were the sole heirs on his existing will.
I am trying to request for a Cenomar/Advisory of Marriage from the Philippines as we have heard rumours that she is still married there. When i have this information, then i would like to request the Marriage certificate, which may have been anotated with the divorce.
I have already paid for the document and arranged for DHL to go & collect it from the PSA in the Philippines.
They are now saying that they cannot post it to me unless i provide them with a signed authorisation letter from her.
There is no way that she is going to agree to this, why would she after all? She's happy with how things are.
I would be grateful for any advice, as to how i can overcome this issue or if there is another way around it.
Then you have to move quickly. She appears to have committed bigamy and therefore got into the UK by lying but you need to prove this. I asked you to communicate by email but you have ignored this. I cannot assist you any further. Good luck.
