Unfortunately it seems that the executor of my late mother’s will is displaying more & more questionable behaviour & I do not think he is fit to be executor.
At the moment, he has not moved my mum’s bank account monies into a proper executor account. I told him this needed to be done months ago & the selling conveyancer has also told him several times that the bank account he has nominated for the house sale proceeds is a personal account which is not the right account to use in a probate sale.
I have advised him that he needs to go into his bank with the grant of probate which was granted months ago for them to change it over & he has not done this. He forwarded me a letter that the selling conveyancer has sent him which confirmed all of this so i’m not sure how he expected me to react?!
After grant of probate was granted, he has also failed to let the other beneficiaries know that they are in fact beneficiaries. I gave him all the contact numbers he would need to get in touch with people. I just can’t understand his actions.
The worrying is that I just don’t trust him at all & now he is threatening to derail the entire house selling/buying chain as he was meant to confirm the completion date of the sales/purchases on Thursday & as of yesterday he had not done this despite me chasing him several times & urging him to get in contact.
Being an executor I know is not an easy task but this guy works mainly in the evening delivering pizzas. So I know he has got time in the day to sort stuff out.
I have had to seek legal advice & a probate solicitor I saw for a free half hr consultation was very perturbed about all the red flags he could see. He did suggest that I suggest to the executor that he takes over the rest of the duties but again this suggestion was ignored by the executor. I feel like I am in some sort of horrendous nightmare here that not only am
I coming to terms with the fact that my mum is dead but now all this added trauma is just too much.
