Financial abuse from family after Dad's death

[awana]

Hi can you help? On top of dealing with the grief of losing my father my mother and sister are being abusive. I am an executor of my Dad's will and they want me to sign a document granting probate. When I asked to see all the details of his assets they screamed at me ad refused to let me know any information needed in order to carry out the executor duties. I have found out also that they threw me off a discretionary trust that was set up about 6 years ago for the family. Dad has alzheimer's for the past 5 years and they have used this to put the money into my sisters name and remove mine. It's a horrendous mess and I'm so stunned they would do this now. Can anyone advise on how to move forward? Many thanks in advance.

see a solicitor. there is so little information in your post, and possibly so much that you need to do to protect yourself and the estate.

Do not sign anything. Did anyone have power of attorney for your dads finances. Are you sole executor.

Does his Will state that you are responsible for distributing his money.

Yes, I'm a joint executor of the will so need to fulfill those duties and distribute assets. Not possible though as they won't let me know what the assets are! I'm not sure why but they obviously have something to hide.

Have you spoken with the other Executor, did they have power of attorney. What a shame, its hard enough without any feelings of mistrust and deceit.
