Hi I'm a new member & wonder if anyone can help with this please. I see above it says beneficiaries do not have the right 2 see a Will until probate has been granted. Then it says they can see the bits relating to them. Can they see the bits relating to them before probate or do they have to wait?
I am concerned that the executor of my father's will (one of his 3 children of which I am another) has given out bequests & is clearing his house & has taken all his possessions of value into her house when she hasn't even applied for probate yet. She refuses contact with me & barely speaks to my other sister. Is she allowed to remove things & give them away when she hasn't applied for probate yet?
Thank you for any advice

When your father died his bank accounts should be frozen and the only bill usually paid before probate being granted is the funeral bill . The bank will release funds to the exact amount of the bill. I can't see how she can pay out bequests . The executor has to keep an Administration Account which records all monies received and paid out and this should be given to each beneficiary when everything has been finalized. I was an executor on two occasions and I engaged a solicitor who handled everything and dealt with Revenue and a final statement was issued to everyone concerned at the end. If your father was in receipt of a means tested payment Social Welfare must be notified 3 months before the estate is distributed so that any overpayment can be repaid.Hi I'm a new member & wonder if anyone can help with this please.
