    Did the other two agree to you moving in for security reasons? did you have any discussion about bills at that point?

    I think that's an important question, plus some more: how much are we talking about, is it worth falling out over, and do you want to continue a cordial relationship with your brother going forward? 

    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.

    It sounds like brother C was also living there, in which case why did you need to move in to keep the property secure ? I would say the utilities should be shared between those living there, as otherwise they wouldn’t have been incurred. I agree with Brie that the standing charges would have been incurred even if no one was living there, so the estate should pay for those.

    Did the other two agree to you moving in for security reasons? did you have any discussion about bills at that point?
    I think that's an important question, plus some more: how much are we talking about, is it worth falling out over, and do you want to continue a cordial relationship with your brother going forward? 

    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.

    We tried the 2 out of 3 route, but our Solicitors insist that it must be 3 out of 3 agreement; yet we had  a further 10K added to our legal bill. pls advice how to break the stalemate and move forward?

    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 
    Yes, I have my own family home which I continued to pay my monthly bills as usual eg mortgage, utilities, Council tax etc.  It was not my intention to live in the house but to make it secure and continue to maintain it until we get probate and then sell the property. The property is in East London and I live in SW London. 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.
    Then as someone else has already asked, why did you need to move in too to 'secure' the property?
    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.

    You don't get £10K added to your legal bills just to give the basic bit of advice that all personal representatives have to agree on an action - takes less than 30 seconds to give that advice. If you really have spent a further £10K arguing about a £7K reimbursement, it's madness.

    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!
