Executors

Trurider

I am a beneficiary under my Grandmothers Will. She died 13 years ago and other than a large collection of China worth over £30K the main asset of the estate was a loan of c£100K loaned to my Uncle. There was also 4 houses to be split between my Mother and Uncle. My mother was given the China as required by the will and the houses divided. But I haven't been paid nor have other beneficiaries. My mother and Uncle were residual beneficiaries. The loan was allegedly repaid after legal action BUT the executor won't answer questions and just says the estate is insolvent.

What action can I take? There is, I believe, case law on the amount an executor can charge as fees. What is this case?

I am aware of the Civil Procedure rule 57.13. I have sent them a letter demanding a full answer in 14 days but where do I issue the application?

Hi Trurider. You've posted this in the Site Feedback section of the board. You need to repost it somewhere more suited to the question, perhaps the pensions board or maybe life insurance.

I am new to this site and posted it only after a considerable struggle to find a way of posting. As to re-posting.... some hope.

Yes I know you're new from looking at your post count.

Why the 'considerable struggle' then? What did you find so difficult about posting on here?

If you managed to reply to this thread surely it'd be equally easy to ask your question on a different board?

Find a solicitor or go to the Citizens' Advice Bureau. This is not the place to get reliable legal advice.

If you have home insurance they may have a legal advice helpline (often available even if you haven't bought the legal expenses add-on), otherwise CAB is a good idea or a you could see a recommended local solicitor offering an initial 30 mins/1 hour appointment for free.

I wonder what it'll be this time?
