Lack of information about Father’s Will

Sigram

Apologies if this has been asked previously.
My father died in November 2025. I am aware of his Will and know I am a Beneficiary, as it was discussed with my estranged sister a few years before his death. Should I have heard from the Executor at this point or am I being too premature? When and what should I do if I hear nothing from the Executor?
Thank you.

Do you know where the will is and who the executor is?  Maybe it's you!  If it isn't I wouldn't expect you to hear anything until things are mostly settled - probate, sale of property, whatever.  Might be a year??

Thanks Brie. I don’t know the name of the Solicitor and I’m estranged from my 2 siblings. I was just worried that they could do something like not informing me or allowing me my inheritance.

A relative had a letter from the solicitor today and a copy of the will, the person died around September

You were a beneficiary several years ago. It is possible he could have changed his will in the meantime.

I wouldn’t have thought so. I only became estranged from my siblings at the time of his death. Things were fairly straightforward until then.
