To ask if you have any experience of probate and if you think they are trying to avoid giving us our share?

DGF died in April 2017 and my sister and I are set to inherit my late father's share of his will. Its a fairly simple estate with a house in trust (this has been sold and the proceeds have gone through) left from my DGM years ago and some care bills to pay. The executors are family members who will not give any more information on its progress other than 'its still in process' and other very vague information. I have only asked them once about it as i don't want to pressure either of them and I know it must be awful concluding all of your parents affairs so I've tried to sit back.
Probate was granted about 6 weeks ago.
AIBU in thinking the lack of information could indicate they are trying to avoid giving us our share or am I jumping the gun?

one of executors is infamous for saying stupid things.

My Dad died in November 2012, probate was granted in February 2013 but distribution of the money was not made until July 2013, mainly due to having to wait for replies from HMRC on inheritance and income tax clearance. There was also money from a trust set up by my grandmother, and that part took until October 2013 - nearly a year after my father died.

I’ll echo what other posters have said. Please don’t just trust that the right thing is happening, and will happen. 18 months after my dad’s death and many thousands of pounds later (mine) have made me realise that even some ‘close’ family members are more concerned with getting their hands on any money they can, rather than what my dad wanted. Although I’m not sure how you can chase up what is going on if threre isn’t a solicitor doing probate. Maybe if you’re still not getting any answers after Christmas consider getting a solicitor of your own. Even if it’s just to write a letter to the executors to chase up what’s going on.

I think it’s terrible they should leave us out of it really and not keep us updated. What can I do if there is no solicitor?
