I mean the charities are unlikely to come looking for what was left to them, they don't operate like that. If they are left short, it is between them and the Executor, you have no say. In the hypothetical situation where the Executor was pursued for the money a court would tell him to pay it out...

Advice on internet forums can be amusing and wrong sometimes, which is why it's usually better to consult a solicitor. As beneficiaries the charities will not receive the full amount of what is left to them. It is up to them to pursue that. If the issue was forced, which they're very unlikely...

There is probably no reason to panic. The EA may be waiting on an answer from the vendor. Play it cool, as per your own advice!

Your post isn't clear. If he had something to do with the name(s), i.e. if he came up with it/them then he may have some claim to them. A club has no more legal position than a private citizen.

Had he anything to do with the names? Bad show if he didn't, understandable if he did. What legal action did he threaten?

You do not know everything that goes on in other peoples' lives. There could have been bad blood over something you know nothing about. The Executor's job is to follow the will of the deceased. If others feel someone was hard done by they can gift him/her.

Your Nan's will makes no difference if all the money is gone before she passes on, which by the sounds of it is what has happened. I think you should engage with a solicitor and get some proper advice.

Put the land up for sale to determine it's market value... the highest offer received is it's market value. Executor should then be allowed to buy at highest offer + €1, plus rent's due etc.

Sorry, dunno, someone on radio in the background, I wasn't really paying attention. As regards a German trade surplus. This is Germany we're talking about. Like death and taxes, a German trade surplus is inevitable.

I think the Germans had the fundamentals right by 1953. Their economy was growing rapidly and they only had to repay their debts as long as they were running a trade surplus. The Greeks have none of that. Some commentator said recently that "they're collecting virtually no taxes to pay for a...

The only way to avoid the tax would have been to have it valued in anticipation of its future higher value, by recognising property prices are going up again. You could have even over-estimated it as there are no real negatives to doing so.

Ah yes, of course.

Could someone tell me: 1. Is it legal for a restaurant or other premises to permit people to bring their own drink (BYO) for consumption, when said premises has no alcohol licence? 2. Is it legal for a licensed premises to permit people to bring their own drink for consumption on the...

Outside of Dublin times are much shorter. It is also worth noting that waiting times for solicitors are also much shorter than they are for us plebs. (Thank the system which looks after certain sections for that.) I did mine in Galway, staff were very friendly and efficient, and I got the...

I don't really know. bluemac mentioned sewage arrangements first, so I thought I'd better do the same :)

I know someone who used 1000L of oil in 28 days! We're on mains sewage in a well insulated house and our mains gas bills including all hot water would run to €250 a year.

Can an Executor be sued for not producing accounts, even if they have completely dispersed the estate to the beneficiaries? My uncle passed away two years ago and left his son as Executor. One of the beneficiaries (the troublesome one!) is continually threatening legal action via his...

On my first ever shop in Tesco Maynooth I was charged £80 but had noticed several items going though at wrong prices. At the time they would give you the item for free if the price was wrong. I went to customer services with the receipt, walked around the store with the rep ticking off wrongly...

It's only going one way. Up.

Your central heating system needs to be open vented. If it is, then it can be done (but still requires work). You have open vented if you have a small header tank in the attic.
