Jeez Bob, thats a croc.
I had a similar situation when I lost my Dad. Turned out he had been duped into an Equity release scam, err I mean scheme. Their paperwork clearly stated that he had discussed this with his two sons and both gave their consent.....................CRAP!!!
My brother and I were, like you, seething and instructed solicitors who quickly ran up a large bill, with no result. We lost about £120k.The only cold comfort was that we paid less in IHT as his estate was diminished.
I would urge you to get some reliable advice before ploughing more money into chasing this. In my experience solicitors are inevitably the only real winners in such cases.
Maybe try Martin Lewis (MSE), Citizens advice, SAGA, BBC's Paul Lewis or Watchdog???
