Get a solicitor's opinion of the Will?

Thanks for replying, what happens if both executor's receive different advise , (own solicitors) they are both beneficiaries of the will 
thanks again

Then you agree a compromise or you ask a court to decide. 

Is this hypothetical or real?

Was the original will drawn up by a solicitor or by non-legally qualified party and how wooly is the area in dispute? I am guessing the wording is not clear if there are grounds for interpretation, the amount is significant if both parties are already involving solicitors and there is already bad blood between both parties if they cannot come to a reasonable agreement.

Thanks , it’s real unfortunately

If it’s disputed how long can any funds be held on till is there a time limit ?

Would they agree on a solicitor to consult together - agreeing on the person to consult and to follow their interpretation, without knowing an advance what that person would say?  It would probably be a lot cheaper than going to court!

How have the solicitors that have been consulted suggested the matter be resolved. Normally they will guide their clients towards a pragmatic cost effective resolution.

Was the will drawn up by a solicitor, and do they have note showing what the intention was?
