  • Solicitor not acting in interest of estate, withholding info

    Hi everyone
    Hope someone can help.

    At the moment my mum is a joint executor on a will with someone who isn't acting at all in the interests of the estate. The solicitor dealing with the estate also has a personal and commercial relationship with the other executor. We have a meeting with the solicitor tomorrow, based 200 miles away from us so it's an opportunity to get information. My question is what information are we entitled to see? Copies of letters between solicitor and other executor? As of course we are jointly authorising his fees etc! Should be jointly working for us but isn't.

    It's a long story but they are really stitching the estate up and the other executor is very racist towards the deceased's son who is Indian, which she put it writing, the solicitor did nothing. The proceeds and personal effects should go to the son but the other executor wrote 'I'm aghast that you want anything to go to those indians'

    Also that the other party held the possessions in storage, they won't release an inventory 'can't find it' so we can't see what there was put into storage and won't release details of the company, hence wanting access to solicitors records.

    Hope someone can help.

    I will e-mail a link to this post to someone who may be able to help with this, but I have no idea of their bank holiday commitments.

        E-mail and link sent, but can't guarantee a reply as I don't know their whereabouts over the holiday period.

            That sounds annoying! hope you get something sorted, i think they should be acting on behalf of the estate not in their own interests !!
