inheritance

My dad passed away in March, my older sister lives in his house and has never moved out from birth (she's 51) we are both executors of the will, however, as she lives in the house my sister has taken on the attitude that everything is hers. I have recently discovered she has changed my dad's premium bonds into her name without my permission. his money in the current account was also paid into her account although I have managed to get this back. i have applied to the land registry to check the house as I am now terrified I have lost my half too. she made me an offer which i accepted as she wants to stay living there, and i have been more than reasonable with the household items, the house is in conveyancing and her solicitor is not replying to mine (they are online) which is really worrying. the will could not be more straight forward, 50/50 and both executors. however, my sister is treating me like I am a little child who doesn't know what to do, ( I am 48 with 2 grown-up kids and have owned houses since my 20's) she has physically assaulted me and told me I am not allowed in the house without her being there. my dad was a good man who told her straight the will was 50/50 and he left provision for me because of my children anyone got any ideas to bring me some peace of mind?

I don't know about the rest of it but I was told you couldn't change premium bonds into someone else's name, you have to cash them in.  Are you sure you have all the details correct?

Premium bonds cannot be transferred, but in the case of the death of the owner they can be kept in the draw for 12 months with any prizes being paid to the executors.

the house is in conveyancing and her solicitor is not replying to mine (they are online) which is really worrying. 

You seem to have obtained probate. You are joint executors.

You have each instructed a solicitor to deal with the conveyancing.

Your position is protected by your solicitor?
