  • Fraudulent Executors

    Executors of my mother’s will have for six years withheld payment of my legacy conditional on me signing their undated, unsigned and inaccurate accounts of the estate. They are also requiring me to accept unlimited liability for any claims on the estate ‘whatsoever and how so ever arising’.

    have now been advised that there are two new legacies due to me, but the same executors are insisting on the same terms to release payment.

    The problem is that these are malicious and dishonest family members whom I have no reason to trust.

    I have documentary evidence of fraud, theft and misrepresentation in respect of my mother’s will and was advised by Action Fraud that I was a victim of Fraud by Abuse of a Position of Trust contrary to s.4 of The Fraud Act 2006. AF passed a crime pack to my local constabulary who were not in the least interested.

    I have repeatedly contacted the executors for payment of my legacy and at the last communication in 2019, sent by ‘signed for delivery’ they did not even collect the letter from the post office and the letter was returned.




    Despite not signing any of their accounts, documents or letters sent to me, the executors are demanding an independent witness to my signature. I have asked them to accept my live in partner as a witness on the basis that I am in the Clinically Extremely Vulnerable’ category for Covid 19 and do not see family, let alone anyone else

    We have entirely separate and independent financial arrangements with no legal obligations and the only coercion is coming from the executors themselves.

    CA have not the expertise and I have had some really bad experiences with lawyers who have assured me they could recover the money and then, having taken their fees, say the amount is not worth pursuing. Last week a solicitor from Which Legal said if I wanted my inheritances would have to accept full liability for the actions of the executors, otherwise it would ‘just go on until one side gave in’

    The executors are saying that the indemnity is standard legal practice, but I understood that executors cannot escape liablility fo claims arising from their administration.

    Is there anyone who can help ?
