My sibling was appointed as sole executor by my remaining parent to oversee the handling of my late parents estate, the duration of which has taken from Oct 2018 to current. Having received a spreadsheet from my sibling that contained a number of anomalies and extensively chased for correlating bank statements logging all funds received/ processed, it recently transpired that my sibling had received some funds suspiciously into their own bank account 'despite setting up a dedicated account' with these funds then being transferred into the dedicated account.
Despite advising my sibling of my legal right to full visibility of every ‘line-by-line financial transaction’ showing all monies paid into all accounts affected and also transferred between, my sibling is advising that under the Data Protection Act, she is not obliged to present the bank statements for her own account which received funds from my parents estate, thus I have no way of establishing whether the amounts she transferred into the 'dedicated account' are true.
Having continued to chase my sibling twice between July and August both times by text and email I have received no further contact and suspect I am being ghosted/ ignored as I have asked for clarity on:
- Why money has been unnecessarily paid into a second account (which is purported to be a personal account) despite opening a dedicated account right from the start for this very specific/ sole purpose.
- Why I wasn’t advised that money was being paid into a second account
Any advice/ guidance would be very much appreciated.
