From what I've read, contested wills seem to be a growth industry.
A neighbour is involved in one - one of 3 main beneficiaries, the other 2 are the named executors.
There is also a small provision for a few grandchildren.
Estate is house + bits & pieces; well below 200k.
Problem is, one of the executor/beneficiaries has contested the will & wants half of it, & has apparently sought legal advice.
It occurs to me that there must be a conflict of interest.
Would that be enough to have this person removed as an executor?
