I’m in exactly the same position. My Father passed away late last year and his Will left the estate 50/50 between myself and my Sister. Whilst I’d like to sell the property ASAP she intends to move in and keep it for herself. Whilst there is no mortgage there is a charge over the property from the county council for the cost of his care. The only way for this to be repaid is for the property to be sold but for some reason the council seem very laid back about the whole thing and don’t seem to be any hurry to take any action.
Both of us are named as Executors but obviously there is only one “original” Will.
Initially she blocked my Fathers solicitor from releasing the Will to me and I did the same pending legal advice. My solicitor got an undertaking from her that she would honour my Fathers wishes and I would be named joint Executor on the paperwork. My solicitor then advised the Will could be released to her to avoid any further delay.
Since then she has not done anything with the paperwork and is not taking any action….and seems to be deliberately delaying things.
I was diagnosed with cancer last year and when I spoke to her for an update she was pretty forthright in saying “I’m just waiting for you to die before doing anything then I can have the whole thing anyway”
Have to say the whole thing is really stressing me out not helping my health.
