Ah, you didn't originally say it was sold with agreement, people were trying to find out if it had even been sold legally, which would affect the answers. If you are the executor then of course you are entitled to know where the money is and how much it isJacquio90 said:The house was sold on agreement that the 25% was placed into an account or trust. All I’m asking is am I at liberty to ask how much the 25% is minus fees is and where it has been placed.1 -

Have I missed something? Was the house sold before or after father died? If before then the will is not relevent.RAS said:
