I have a beneficiary share to a property that was held as tenants in common. The executors of the will are listed as trustees. The property was sold, a solicitor was added as a trustee and the TR1 form was signed by the solicitor.
I asked the solicitor for a full breakdown of the trust value that was being offered to the beneficiaries to be shared according to the will.
The solicitor advised that the only duty they carried out was to oversee the sale.
Is this correct?
They can sign the main document for the trust and then say nothing to do with me discuss it with the executors.
I thought trustees had to give full details and show that the best interests of the beneficiaries were followed?
I want to be confident that correct procedure was followed as no probate was requested.
