Hi all I need a bit of advice.
Person A & B have been named as Executors within a Will, and the Grant of Representation has been completed.
There is a Will which leaves a property in Trust and the 2 Executors are named as Trustees. B is granted free occupation rights of the property in Trust, but is responsible to personally pay for specific items relating to its upkeep.
A has dealt with the vast majority of the arrangements and accounts.
During a detailed review of the accounts A has identified that B has recieved/taken monies which should have come into the Estate and has not declared them. It is not one single transaction.
In addition to this B appears unwilling to prove that they are complying with the requirement to pay for specific items in relation to the property and is now refusing to respond to other requests.
There is a conflict of interest as B is Occupier, Trustee & Executor.
In not declaring the monies recieved/taken B has effectively commited theft, and in not providing information required B may not be complying with the specified terms of occupancy.
What action/recourse should A look to take in order to force the provision of required information and to deal with the dishonesty of B?
This is in the UK
Thanks
