Many thanks for your replies.
It is now many months on with no sign of resolution, though their has been other developments.
My dad is a bit confused and thinks the estate must automatically come to him, despite gently telling him about mums will.
Sister who lives with my dad is an executor. My brother is also an executor but is not interested in administering the estate.
Sister has seen a solicitor in Ireland.
Sister told us that the solicitor said, despite the will naming us as the beneficiaries, my dad would be entitled to a 1/3 of the estate, if my dad chose to dispute the will.
Is this correct?
So the whole process has stalled.
I feel frozen out of the process.
All my siblings are well off, while I am really struggling financially.
I don't want to upset my dad, but I need some resolution of this.
All this has left me feeling really sad and depressed.
Any advise, greatly appreciated.
