Father died in February. Only son & daughter left nothing as father was alcoholic and estranged from family since divorce about 15 years ago. He made a will at this time leaving everything to a cousin that also has had nothing to do with him. This cousin was also made Executor. The cousin has made his intentions clear that he intends to keep the estate as beneficiary.
Son and daughter have advised through solicitor to cousin that they intend to challenge the will. Cousin has managed to access cash from two accounts but a property still remains. He or his solicitor have not replied to any further correspondence from our solicitor requesting he apply for probate. Think he is deliberately stalling hoping we lose interest ? How do we get him to apply for probate so we can get challenge under way ?
