An acquaintance is unsure of the order of priority for distribution.
Deceased died intestate.
Daughter acting as administrator.
Total value of estate a nominal £2500, so no probate required.
Funeral will be £1950.
Obviously, funeral expenses are settled first, but what of the other creditors? Is there a pecking order, or is it pro-rata? In no particular order, these are the bills:
Gas (£ unknown).
Water (£ unknown).
Electric (£ unknown).
Council tax (£ unknown).
House clearance (approx £100).
Administrators expenses (approx £200).
Housing Association rent (£ unknown).
Warden charge (£ unknown).
Nursing Home (partially assisted only. Approx £860).
It's clear that the estate is going to go bankrupt, so there's going to be a row (the Health Authority have already tried to con the daughter into signing a document stating that she accepts liability for the debts of the deceased).
