My brother has sold my deceased parents house without telling me

Not sure what to do or where I stand. My brother who I chose to go nc with & I were made joint executors. I relinquished my role after my DM died as he is very untrustworthy and I was concerned about my name being attached to probate & him not doing things as he should. He is very controlling and would not have involved me at all. Since then I discovered that for 3.5 years he was renting it out. Solicitor said I could only regain some control if I followed a lengthy /costly process of renaming myself to be an executor. Without that it was down to him doing the right thing by informing me of what was happening with my parents assets. Out of curiosity I just looked up their house. It has been sold within the last 6 months. There is many reasons that I won’t go into here that I have avoided my brother at all costs. I would love to know if there’s anything I can do or somewhere I can go to find out more. He would not willingly share any info and would be prone to lying.

I missed the deleted message

but I would reckon it absolutely justified my original point!

I take it OP never bothered returning 🙄
always have more than one executor and make sure at least one isn’t benefitting from the will.
Being joint executors of their Dad’s estate ruined DH and his Sister’s relationship for a good 18 months.

Not sure I say I’ve been fannying around on zoopla 😄 or that I have an issue with spending £3 (took me a mo as had a few tasks to fulfil for the DC). And I was on zoopla for 2 mins. I’ve got the land registry in front of me now.

in this moment it’s pretty confusing. On zoopla it said sold in 2021. However, on the register under ‘charges register’ it says 2019 proprietor then name of bank.

Under proprietor register it has my parents name from when they bought it. Since then it says ‘restriction & some info about nothing being registered without consent signed by banks name.’

I’ll check in with a solicitor and go from there as I can’t make head nor tail of it. Really appreciate everyone contributing today and sharing their thoughts.

This means the new sale has not been registered yet. There is a backlog of cases st the moment. The legal owners are in the proprietorship register - your mum and dad. The charges register shows the mortgage against the property with the proprietor of the charge being the bank. The bank will need to provide either consent to sale or discharge their charge before it can be registered (provide evidence the mortgage is paid off)
This does not mean it has been reposessed

The mortgage was taken out in 2019

The fact the bank has a charge on it would indicate your mother didn’t have an life assurance unfortunately

It doesn't mean that at all 🙄

No it would not
On the charges register it states who is owed money against the property ie the mortgage company or a charge for legal aid etc.
