Yesterday I returned disheartened after seeing a decent solicitor regarding non payout of $40 000 each to myself and brother. My children also have a trust of $10 000.
We have received a larger payout 2 years ago.
This is a significant amount to me but very small for what it entails to be able to receive it.
The issue causing the delay is the request he produce receipts.
He refuses by delays statements to give any full records or details.
The executor made himself the accountant and POW as well.
1 tax return only for example is charged at $22 000. There are 3 more similar.
The previous returns with her old accountant average $150.
He has charged $800 to attend the funeral.
The Charges in total to administer the will come to approximatley 60 000 in admin costs to pay himself. This does not include another 27 000 in solicitor costs.
No dispute has occurred beween beneficiaries .
We have records showing double charging of the same amounts on the same day. We have brought this to the executors attention and he laughed saying so what I make the law.
The executor seems to be able to dodge the law and this is what he enjoys doing to be a bully or greedy?
I can't do anything unless I go to supreme court. The costs however to the executor comes from the remaining money in the estate , the executor uses this money to defend himself and it cannot be requested to be re paid back? This will drain everything? The court process has indefinite costs and could exceed the amount remaining and I am left out of pocket beyond the inherited amount owing.
The executor doesn't respond to solicitor letters, my letters or the accountants requests.
Both myself and a forensic accountant have made all attempts to get all receipts and have failed.
I am stitched up .
The money is gone , either by a solicitors battle or the executor just never releasing it or held accountable for the blatant misconduct.
