Mr and Mrs F held their property as tenants in common each having a 50% share.Both had made Wills with a Life Interest and were leaving their share of their estate to their respective children from their first marriages. When Mr F died Mrs F remained in the property .The executor for Mr F completed Probate on his estate .However Mr Fs possessions and clothing plus his furniture remained in the house.
When Mrs F died a year later, her appointed executor and Mrs Fs daughter held the keys to the house.
1 Can Mrs Fs executor and Mrs Fs daughter deny or prevent Mr Fs executor from accessing the house to deal with Mr Fs possessions and property.
2 Does Mr Fs Executor have the same rights of access to the house as Mrs Fs executor and should Mr Fs executor be provided with a set of keys
3 With regards to the payment of any bills such as House Insurance and Utility ,,shouldn’t these be shared equally between the two executor’s as they are dealing with the same house.
4.Does the fact that Mr Fs executor has the Grant of Probate for Mr Fs estate make any difference to his right to access the house.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
