A relative died leaving his house to one person, and everything else (money and land), equally divided, between a group of beneficaries. One of the beneficiaries claims that the land element was promised to him, and he wants agreement from all the other beneficaries to cede that land to him. At this stage I do not know if he is offering to give up his claim to the other assets.
My first question: can the first person take possession of the house whilst the rest of the will is unresolved?
Second: if a beneficary dies whilst things remain unresolved, does their share go back into the pot?
Third: is the unhappy person's request usual and is there a standard process for changing the division of assets?
Fourth: what is the role of the administrator in all of this, can he speak for the unhappy party?
Many thanks
