I acknowledge your confirmation and note the statutory deadline of 17 November 2026, ask for a reference number, request preservation of related files, and ask whether any vested property was later disclaimed, sold or dealt with, or if records were destroyed.
“please also say whether it was later disclaimed (section 656), sold or otherwise dealt with, and the date”
