Andarma,
I may be totally wrong - and in a way I hope that I am – but I think the two siblings, who neither lived in the property nor within 2 kilometres of the property may have a joint NPPR liability, which would be payable out of the estate.
Having trawled the legislation, I cannot find a reason why they would be exempt.
The executor really needs to seek legal advice.
Could the person with the right of residence not be considered the 'liable' person though?
The original act did not fully take account of residuary beneficiaries. One of the unintended consequences was that when they eventually took possession a retrospective NPPR charge including late payment fees could arise.
The act was amended to place responsibility for payment on the personal representative in order to avoid those fees.
