You may be technically in the right, your brother may be a devious schemer just out to get as much as possible, and it may be that if you never see him again it will be too soon. But going legal to assert your rights may cost you several times whatever amount you think you should receive, and will damage your future relationship.
Another possible route forward, if 2 out of 3 of you agree, is just to pay yourself the amount, split the rest in three and hold your ground, but that depends on you and the more generous brother being able to do that.Savvy_Sue said:elsien said:Did the other two agree to you moving in for security reasons? did you have any discussion about bills at that point?

Kallawala said:Flugelhorn said:were you paying to live anywhere else at the time?
having a beneficiary living in a property can be useful as it makes it more secure and looked after - However I think the beneficiary could be expected to pay rent to the estate / pay for own utilities / council tax etc as they are being housed for free. Probably in many cases the execs would probably agree that the rent would be zero in return for looking after the place and the resident beneficiary just pay day to day costs
If you used the electricity then yes pay for it. You will have paid less at your own place because you weren't there. Let the estate pay the standing charge.0 -

Your posts are very unclear. You have said 'Brother C lives the closest to the property also he was 'living' in the property with our parents, he has never 'left' home even though he has an accommodation nearby.'
People have asked you to clarify, but you've not done so - and it's a pretty key piece of information, surely?
Nor have you answered the question about the size of the estate. Again, that will have a significant impact on where to go next - but just getting this sorted out must be the highest priority.
Taking the above into consideration, and to avoid running up further needless legal costs, split the £7K between the 3 of you and be done.Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!0
