Benficary rejecting money.

They could but they Don't want any of the cost to come out of their share

Which is actually what is stopping this from getting resolved

My understanding is that once an executor has started administering the estate (intermeddling:cool:) they cannot then renounce.

Sorry, I meant "pass this bit of work to a solicitor to sort out" rather than formally renounce

The beneficiary's entitlement can be paid into Court. The Court will provide a receipt which is as good as one from the beneficiary. This would be the cheapest way.
Then the executors have covered themselves legally, and can walk away unless called on by the Court to provide additional evidence.

They don't wish (and can't get hold of) to have his address so they cant just send it- all letters to him are going through the local authority where he lives.

They was a lot of rage earlier this week when the solicitor wrote that while she thinks that it can come just out of his share it is not confirmed.

Just leave them to it - why keep labouring and giving regular 'they are getting angry/there was a lot of rage' updates - what's the point? Nobody here can help. There's a qualified solicitor helping, so leave it to her.

More to the point, most people on this thread have tried to help, but met relentlessly with reasons from OP as to why suggestions or advice won't work. Brick wall every time!

The majority, if not ALL, of the problem is that it's not the executors asking for help, it's a third party. The executors don't appear to want advice, not from OP, not from this forum, not from a solicitor. They want to do only what they feel they should be able to do, legal or not, therefore the thread, I'm afraid, has become rather pointless. Sorry.:(:(

So my advice for what it's worth is to stop picking at this scab. It does not appear to be the case that any disagreement, cost, fury, delay or outcome directly affects you so leave it alone. CLEARLY, nothing is even close to what the executors can agree to so they're best left to get on with it.

Even the solicitor is likely to get bored & frustrated, bill them & walk away.

There are missing persons tracing professionals that WILL find him or her. I costs a bit but it would bring a conclusion.

I believe (and I stand to be corrected) that before distribution of the estate, all beneficiaries are required to agree the accounts prepared by the Solicitor. I'm thinking back to my early working life in a solicitor's probate department, and I'm sure then that unless there was an agreement between all the beneficiaries for an interim payment to some of them, the solicitor couldn't distribute anything - only pay outstanding bills due by the estate. The funds are held in the solicitor's client a/c., although I can't remember about interest on those funds.

Beneficiaries are not required to sign as agreeing the accounts. The only beneficiaries required by law to see the accounts are the residual beneficiaries and this normally occurs at distribution time I. E. ' Here's the money and a copy of the accounts'

Beneficiaries with defined bequests have no right to see the accounts.
