They should treat everyone the same. In the ideal world.

I'd be surprised at a solicitor acting on those very odd instructions - its the sort of thing a solicitor needs like a hole in the head!

Mind you, if someone wants to be bloody minded ( and that can be beneficiaries and executors) there's not a whole heap the offended party can do.

His allegiance is to the executor.

In circumstances like this, where there is clear distrust and bad feeling, my advice is for the (rightly or wrongly) aggrieved beneficiaries to take their own legal advices. They may well find out that there is nothing/a lot going on that is underhand.
