You are, AFAIK, missing the ppoint. The executor(s) don't alter the re-distribution as it is done by the beneficiaries but I could be wrong. That is why the OP needs to get paid for prfessional advice. I wont cost much.

Legal rights need not be specified in a will. Even if they are not written into a will they can be claimed so, in Scots Law a will can be altered by the primary legal rights. It is not legal to disinherit children from their shares in moveable estate.

The executor does not have any plans on altering the Will but simply make a goodwill gesture to out of either the movable estate or entire estate to a friend of the deceased who cared for them up until the end.

The executor has spoken to the solicitor and they have requested that both other beneficiaries are in agreement which they are.

So the question remains, is it made out of the movable estate or the entire. A solicitors appointment will be arranged shortly. Once clarified I will post findings.

If the beneficiaries are receiving differing sums then perhaps the gratuity should be similarly apportioned. In other words calculate the percentage each beneficiary is to receive and then make that percentage their contribution to the overall gratuity.

Excellent and fair suggestion. Thanks.
