    endaf - if you employed a solicitor to administer your father's intestacy and they have letters of administration, you should leave them* to sort this out with your brother.  If your brother has any legitimate "extra" claim (and none of us here have any idea whether he may or may not) I'd be surprised if your solicitor had not already identified that.

    You should tell your brother that he (or his solicitor if he really has one) needs to be dealing with the administration solicitor - it's him (or her) that needs to get this right.

    *Did you post earlier that you and your sister would seek advice from another solicitor?  You've already appointed one to deal with the intestacy - speak to them otherwise you and your sister will be instructing two different solicitors.
    Thanks for that, that solicitor has basically discharged her duties from what i know as we've had the final bill from her and the moneys in the estate has already been split 3 ways etc. the only thing we were waiting on is for the 3 names to be added to the land registry (apparently its already registered just not having received the new deeds due to covid delays etc)

    So what's the problem? The solicitor has  followed the will. 
    if your brother persists in his claim tell him to contact  the solicitor.
