To resurrect this thread

We now have a case where the executors are in disagreement. One executor is even threatening litigation against the other. I guess there is little those of us who are beneficiaries can do - they need to sort it out between themselves - but does anyone have any experience of this?

I have already said to the (possibly) litigating executor that this will take time and (a lot of) money and, really, it all needs sorting out sooner rather than later. It appears ((though only going on second hand information) this is holding up applying for probate

Aargh!

Who is threatening legal action the solicitor or lay executor?

Any losses caused by the actions of an e executor can be recovered from that executor.

You really should make them aware that they will be responsible for all costs should lose the case.

I've tried to.

It's difficult as he is someone who is very determined to "do the right thing". The solicitor has told him, apparently, that he is morally but not legally right.

Then he is an idiot, who could face financial ruin if he is determined to follow this through.
