Just looking for a bit of insight on what happens next/time frames etc. I will try to keep this brief.
My Grandmother died 04, left small estate (her house) to her 2 siblings, one of which is the Executor(not a v trustworthy character). There has been no communication between these siblings for a long time. Her house is next door to the non-executor sibling, who has never been contacted or consulted by executor or solicitor ever re the sale of this house.
Next thing, sale agreed is up and the new owners are in and still no notification of sale of house, how much it was sold for etc.
Is this the norm? Are beneficiaries the last to know? Do they have any rights? Obviously the new owners have exchanged via Solicitors. Is their a timeframe for Solicitors to produce cheque. Is their any chance that the executor could get hands on the proceeds fo the estate? Any advice would be great. Thanks.
