...nd of November. I can't actually do more than that where the XPS/Police Pension is concerned as the executor is not willing to pursue it as of earlier this year, " he can't be bothered" but thats a whole different matter. I only brought it up as a further example of Pension - I hate to use the word corruption I really do but what else can it be described as?... -
Making a new Will - thinking through options available.
Ethel Street replied to Primrose13's topic in General Legal Issues
...eful for their free service that you bequeath something to them in your Will. I've been Executor 4 times and it isn't difficult unless you have complex finances such as a Trust.. I have no professional background and no training in being an Executor, just researched it online. There's plenty of professionally written advice available - I bought one of those 'Executor packs' written by a solicitor which had specimens of the forms, step by step instructions etc. Your son is in his 30s/40s and you say he is capable so it sounds like he could be your Executor. But what I think is irrelevant - do you have confidence he could do it? ... -
...ed still married which might (or might not) be relevant here. If Daughter A is the sole Executor then I'd expect all your wife' assets to be transferred to a bank account in the name of Daughter A. That's normal practice, the Executor becomes the legal owner of the assets and takes control of them so they can be paid out to beneficiaries. I'd expect the Executor to have opened a separate bank account to put the Estate assets in. That's what I've always done when I've been Executor. The money in it wasn't mine personally, I held it on trust for the beneficiaries in my capacity as Executor. That's what would happen after...

...A relative's carer helped themselves to her bank account. This was discovered by the executor who stopped looking back through the bank account when the amount topped £11k in the five months prior to her death and handed the matter to the police. It is going to court and there's little doubt there will be a conviction. It will however be for considerably less than the amount taken because the criminal case is sensibly concentrating on those withdrawals and purchases which can be proved without any doubt. The direct victim was the now deceased relative and if she was still alive she could sue the thief. Can executor ... -
...ght on HP. Is it still mine if there is a year's payments due on it? Or should the executor pay the last of the debt off? Executor is trying to tell me that they personally can't afford to pay the last of the debt, so the caravan has to be sold to settle the finance. I thought if there isn't enough money in the estate, the rest is written off?... -
...After a sibling died the others came together to clear the property with the sibling who is executor. This help was given freely and at no time did anyone mention or talk about getting paid or expenses for said help. Now suddenly an invoice has been sent to the executor for work carried out, this is a proper invoice as person is self employed. But is the executor legally obliged to pay this from the estate? We are aware that once the estate is settled if anything is missed the executor is liable personally. So although this is clearly immoral it's the legal side that concerns us.... -
...e bit confused as my uncle passed away on 2015 and I know that I’m a beneficery. The executors that were named on the will no longer wanted to act so the solicitors had nominated my cousin as he is the main beneficiary. Well I hadn’t heard anything since my uncles passing and I haven’t got the greatest relationship with my cousin, so I looked on the probate registry and found that in actual fact my Aunty who works in the solicitors and is in the will is now the executor and the date of death on probate is wrong and she’s used her mothers address and not her own is this aloud? Also probate was granted i...

... money So who exactly is named on the Probate from the Public Guardian office to Act as Executor and does that Probate specifically state financial and Medical because if it only state Medical then they can't deal with the Financial matters nor the Will it must clearly give the Financial Powers. The reason I say the above I have Probate for my own Dad who is in a Care Home and is on End of Life and I have both Financial and Medical Powers and my Dads Will. You need to get your hands of a copy of the Probate to make exactly sure they have either both Financial and Medical Power and not just either Financial ...

...ife have Power of Attorney for him. What we have found out so far is that her Solicitor is her executor, as mentioned before I have tried to contact the solicitor but as you say I am told that they cannot speak to me only another solicitor. Therefore we did appoint a Solicitor on BIL's behalf thinking that the house would be sold, but even our solicitor cannot get any information as to the situation. We have had the house cleared and tried to keep any paperwork that we came across, unfortunately BIL was not very organised and it is all a complete mess. Partner had no family and we live some miles away ...

...y: FIL died June 2017. Delay with Estate due to contention between 3 siblings, all of whom are Executors. Contentious Lawyers finally appointed to deal with Estate. MIL has Alzheimer’s & in a care home. She lacks capacity. The firm of Solicitors were engaged on the basis that not only do they handle late FILs Estate BUT were also engaged to act as MIL Financial Deputy as agreed by all 3 Executors. 1 of the Executors has now ‘changed her mind’. This particular Executor has been difficult since my FIL died. Her brother (my husband) had to see a Solicitor to get things moving in the first plac...

... death @HertsCorn I had a similar situation with E.On when my mother died and I was her Executor, although not involving DCAs. Some organisations seem unable to grasp that the person they claim owes the bill is no longer alive. I did find though that once I'd provided the Death Certificate that was the last I ever heard of it. Even debts my mother had owed and I was willing to pay from the Estate were never collected. Can you clarify your post #7. Have BW agreed that they will not pursue you for payment and won't contact you again? Have they confirmed it in writing? In answer to your general question about ...

...e (if competent)). what may give you rights is if you are a beneficiary of their estate, or an executor of their will ; if you are a beneficiary and not an executor, you’ll need a letter stating why you have authority from the executor of the estate.

...Well, yes an Executor can indeed take anything away and sell it if, as here, the Will requires all the deceased's property to be sold and bequests of money to be made from the proceeds. Your neighbour's choice of language - "magic'd away'" "taking valuable stuff away ... poof!" isn't a reasonable way of describing what the Executor has done. The Executor is just doing what the Executor is required to do! In your first post you talked of the executor "rifling the place". I can tell you from experience that that is precisely what executors have to do. A primary responsibility of the Executor is to identify all the assets and liabilities...

...Hello, I have just joined. I am a joint executor Non beneficiary, in a family will where the one of the two beneficiaries also executors cannot agree to the price to buy out the other. It has become hostile between them, it is going to court to decide what happens to the house and I am now a party to the claim, as second claimant, siding with the reasonable party for the purpose of getting this protracted matter dealt with. The indemnity form I have been sent by the solicitor of one party states in the last of three paragraphs, the following and I wish to know please if this is a reasonable paragraph that should protect me against c...

...the time. So now a demand arrives in January 2023 and the estate has no money to pay it. Am I as an executor still liable?... -
...My understanding from having been an Executor several times and discussed this with my solicitor is that under English law an Executor is always a Trustee who holds the Estate in Trust for the beneficiaries except in the uncommon situation where the Will specifically makes someone else (a non-executor) the Trustee to hold the assets. Although it's a common standard form of words for a Will to say 'X is appointed Executor and Trustee,', X will be a Trustee of the Estate anyway even if 'trustee' isn't mentioned in the Will. An Executor/Trustee is the legal owner of the deceased's assets from the point of death. [but I am not a lawyer so please ...

...ds. A substantial sum. However, the elderly relative passed away earlier this year, and the sole executor, the only offspring has subsequently delayed the process of probate, to the extent he has not yet made an application. This intelligence is borne out by the online probate registry which as yet is not showing any reference to any application, and therefore no information on the Will. The Executor would have been expecting to inherit the whole estate from his sole surviving parent, and would therefore have been extremely upset when he read the Will to discover that he had not in fact inherited everything. Indeed a sizeable chunk, clo... -
...Sorry to hear about your father's death. Who is your father's Executor/Administrator? You? Your mother? The Executor/Administrator of your father's Estate is responsible for settling any debts your father owed. That might include £40 to Vodafone, impossible to say definitely, we don't know what the basis of their claim is. But even if your late father did owe £40 at the date he died no-one else is responsible for settling the bill except the Executor/Administrator. And the Executor/Administrator only has to settle it from the assets of your late father's Estate. They aren't personally liable and don't ha...

...Hi, Can a joint executor stop the other executor from buying the deceased mother's house instead of selling on the open market? Are there any legal processes that can be initiated to keep the house in the family? There would be no conflict of interest as the agreed probate valuation can be paid thus negating any question of fraud. Probate has already been proved - the two executors are sisters and joint beneficiaries and one is just being difficult due to a strained relationship. Many thanks....

TUPE and Death in Service
honeybee13 replied to aliceinw's topic in Employment and minimum wage problems
...I'm sorry to hear about your sister. Are you executor? I'm wondering if it's worth whoever is the executor sending an SAR to the company asking about benefits and also paperwork for the TUPE transfers. The reason that the DIS is referred to as 'discretionary' is normally to do with not incurring an Inheritance Tax charge when it's paid out. HB... -
...is split between 4 other people mainly plus another couple of small bequests. One of the four is an executor. The house has been rented out for some time providing an income. My Mother called the solicitor on Thursday last week to be told that the executor hasn't even applied for probate yet. Why would he not have done this? We know he and the other beneficiaries are unhappy that my mum gets the house, but none of them are blood relatives, none bothered with the poor lady in years and if it is her wish, stated clearly in the will what can they do? Also the issue of the rent from the property. I take it that the rental income is going... -
Hi all, I'm a British ex-pat in Malta. A guy (also British) who owned a flat in the block I live in tragically died recently. It was used as a holiday home/rental so he rarely stayed there. We need to contact his family (or other new owners) about maintenance and other issues but have no contact details apart from the now deceased owner. How do we go about finding who is responsible for executing the will in the UK and identifying the new owner of the flat?
