Evening,
I'm writing because I am a joint executor of my mother's Will along with my only sibling. My mother is alive and nearly 80. My sibling is very much glued to her side and involved in her finances to the point where she is currently financially benefitting from the relationship. I believe sibling is taking or being given money from mother's accounts whilst she's alive to minimise the 50/50 share of what's going to be left to us in the will.
My mother has full capacity and her and my late father have given my sibling a vast amount of money on more than one occasion. That's their decision, albeit not a very wise one as sibling always wants more.
This sibling and I have no contact as I feel our mother is being taken advantage of but there is nothing I can do to stop it as Mother is choosing to continue with things being this way.
When my mother passes away I will be forced to work with this sibling as we are both executors of the will.
I am wondering if there is a way I can be an executor but have nothing to do with the sibling. They are going to try to take as much as they can, they are going to try to keep secrets and they are going to tell lies and not communicate fully with me over the will. I anticipate lots of stress, anger and upset. I have a very peaceful life and could do without this crap on the horizon.
Just to add me, sibling and Mother were joint executor and trustees of father's will and I never saw the will or had anything to do with it after he died, sibling took control of the lot and mother allowed this. Mother was sole beneficiary.
thanks
