    Any particular reason why they are carrying on with the probate company she chose?
    Just because a) there is no obligation to use any company when they can do it themselves and b) there is no contract between the executors and the company so if there’s any money owing so far and they choose not to carry on with them that would need to come from sister’s share given that she got completely ahead of herself. 
    Agreed their is a potential conflict of interest here for the solicitor, they should not be representing you and your sister. They know too much about the case.
    It’s not a solicitor who’s involved its a probate company. Sister started the process and the executors have taken over as she was not forthcoming with updating us or able to proceed. We thought it would be easier to continue with what has been started. However, sister has since said she is asking the probate company to discard any application she has made and to start the process again. Which potentially leaves her with a probate bill? 
    I assume she wants them to use the same company so she doesn't have to pay for their services.
    The executors should not use this company and should get their own solicitor, it will be cleaner especially as the sister is acting the way she is.
