I am one of three executors of a Mb.estate. One of the others has refused to give me her records of the work she has put

Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be working on your question today and I am looking forward to our conversation.

I know your question is important to you and I will be giving it the time and attention it deserves.

Sometimes responses and replies take time, so I ask you to be courteous and patient to allow me the time to type answers to you and also to others. At times I may even have to do some research.

I am sorry for your loss and to hear of this difficult situation.

Do you still have the estate lawyer acting for you?

Here is the answer to your query. Please do not hesitate to ask any follow up questions related to this response and know that I will respond as soon as I can.

Now I understand. She wants to get as much as she can as she is not a beneficiary. Now I see the full picture.

You won't be able to wind up the estate yet because something very concerning is going on. Your best next step would be for you and the other is executor who is also beneficiary to retain your own estate lawyer and bring an application to the court requiring that she provide a full detailed record of all that she did and require her to prove her entitlement to the level of executor fees that she is claiming. It would essentially be a passing of the accounts before the court.

Once you start this process it's quite likely the case that she will provide the records and she will back down in terms of her exorbitant demand.

Does that help as a starting point?

You will not have to attend court. Your lawyer will go for you and if you did have to attend you could attend remotely. You can let them take you to court if you want. But the hope is that that one letter will do all it takes.

The student could not attend court on your behalf unfortunately.

You can contact the Law Society and use their Lawyer Referral Service. You will be given the name of a lawyer and can consult with the lawyer and the first half hour will be free.
