Ok, so some of you mar have read my post of the situation with Adam, Ben and Craig.
To try and be brief A&B are brothers, C is a cousin. B had been no contact for years before his fathers death. Previously assaulted his mother before her death. B share of the estate was decreased to accommodate C who had been very hands on with the father. Father had wanted to write B out but A&C thought he might challenge that and asked to keep him in on that basis.
Father was poorly and old, had numerous carers, nurses, friends and extended family around up until his death. GP, nurses, family, friends etc can all account to his sane state as well as the situation with B, there are at least 30 people will to state that in writing.
B is claiming his Dad wasn't of sound mind and he wants his full share of 50% of the estate. He is now claiming A is bias in his role was executor and therefore responsible got his own costs and needs removed. He had previously applied for caveat which B stopped.
Should A just step down and walk away and then what happens? A is pretty poor, they have spent thousands on legal advice thus far which B is saying he can't claim back from the estate. It's weeks between communication from As solicitor. C had pretty much kept out of it. A previously had to give up work to care for his dad and this is breaking him financially and emotionally. B is wealthy and could easily use up the small estate (total estate 120k) just for spite.
