    nothing has been signed so it isnt too late to call a halt to the sale of the property.
    seems to me that mum and sis have cooked up this sale between them and the executor thinks you are in full agreement.
    the thing is - the terms of your fathers will are not being complied with!!!! in fact they are being completely ignored if the will was as you understand it.
    If the house was left outright to your mother then of course she can sell it. but, you CANNOT sell a house which isnt legally yours and if your mum only has a life tenancy then she cant sell - so what is going on here? you need a copy of the original will, and you should have been given one by the executor or the solicitor if you were a main beneficiary - strange that you havent had one. but as others have said they are public record once they have been 'proved'.

    I agree. It sounds like the mother and sister have decided on a scheme to get the house.
