I'm not the Executor but having been dealing with all of the Testator's affairs for the last 3 years I am completely involved in what's happening now that she's died. Probate we are told may not happen for 6 months. I'm sorry but I don't know what form CA24 is. The problem I see is that the Social Welfare payments in question are not included in the estate which will deprive Revenue of Inheritance tax, i don't have a legal background so don't know what the correct legal situation is. Should the money be paid now into the Testator's bank account or is it acceptable to use it instead to pay legitimate Executor expenses which of course cannot be claimed from the estate. A possible motivating factor is that the Executor is unemployed and basically incapable of paying expenses from his own pocket.
I hope this helps. Thank you very much for a prompt reply.
