Can a beneficiary take out Indemnity Insurance?

Hi,

It is unclear why this matters. If you think there is a high probability the executors have got it wrong then just stick the money into a some form of readily accessible account and wait. If they then demonstrate that they have screwed up then pay it back to them. The worst that happens is that you gain some interest on the money. if it affects benefits then if you have to pay back the money pay it back minus the loss in benefits and let them tell a judge that that js unreasonable.

it isn't clear what you have to lose by having money in the bank.

"We fear that the executors have another ‘hidden’ Will that entirely excludes some beneficiaries"

Only the most recent will is valid under UK law (assuming it complies to all the legal requirements) .

The solicitor would be breaking the law if they did not obey this.

Also, if you are as you say Executor and Trustee, you can have your own solicitor move the estate file to them so that the whole thing can be examined properly. Especially if there is self dealing with expenses and other discrepancies.
