executor question

I think the best course and easiest action would be lodging a interest in the estate with the treasury requesting in the event of the executor failing to carry out his responsibilities in the required time frame meaning the executor and beneficiary's get nothing I as the surviving closest family can make a claim to the estate before the treasury take the lot as unclaimed .

G6jns, when you say 'refuse' do you mean refuse to be an executor or refuse to have the inheritance?

Sorry if it was not clear. I was trying to say that if a beneficiary did not wish to accept what they were entitled to under the will the executor or administrator should insist on written notice of that.

That would take years to happen. The LOA route would be best.
