My father was a British national who lived in Spain, he died in 2009, he had a joint bank account and an investment which matures I understand in 2013 or 2014, he had a partner but was not married, therefore I am the next of kin as I understand it.

I need to know how to go about claiming the investment, i have approached spanish governent and found out he did not make a will in spain, and i know but have no proof as yet that he didnt have a will in the UK.

I have also written to the bank concerned but after several months they have not replied to me.

Does anyone know what i need to do? Your help is much appreciated.

regards
