    When administering the estate there will need to be an Executors account and when this is set up you must ensure that your mother cannot act alone to write cheques or make transfers.

    I don't think this is necessary and any executor that walks into a bank with a grant of probate will stand a good chance of being able to withdraw the balance. Once the money is in the executors' account, it is probably safe. The risk is before it gets there.
