Hi. My dad has nominated myself as sole executor of his will - my brother is not to be an executor as he doesn't get on with the rest of the family and as a result of a long history of issues he has had with the family, my dad (and I) don't trust him. When my dad handled my mother's estate, my brother was a bit of a problem during the process and we are concerned that on my father's death, the situation could be worse, especially as it is the second death and the estate has a higher value.
Our concerns relate to the 'protection' of the executor. We're expecting all sorts of activity by my brother, from removing items from the house, through to legal challenges of the executor throughout the process (e.g. on executor expenditure, realising the value of goods etc).
Being in the planning stage of my dad's estate, we're looking to establish what path we could take to enable the executor to carry out their duties. My dad advises that his will has been written fairly, with an equal share between my brother and myself (there are no other siblings), with other named persons benefiting from the will too. He believes the estate is simple and straightforward.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
