Big family issues after proceeds of estate paid

[SickWithWorry123]

I'm posting this as a last resort and also for clarification on whether I am in the wrong.

For clarity I have spoken to my Solicitor who advises that they/I have done nothing wrong.

I know I'm not thinking clearly, I'm feel broken, suicidal as I can see no way through this.

This is a long story but I will attempt to be as concise as possible without omitting important details.

My Grandma passed away 2 years ago. Myself and my now deceased Dad were Executors. Probate was granted December 2022. My Dad passed away earlier this year, unexpectedly, which left me the only remaining Executor. Proceeds of the estate were paid about 6 weeks ago to the remaining 7 beneficiaries. My Dads share was paid to me, as Executor of my Grandma's estate to be distributed to any beneficiaries once probate has been granted on his estate.

He died before making a Will so according to the rules of intestacy his estate will be divided between his 3 children as he was not married. I am one of the 3 children.

The funds from my Grandma's estate are sitting in an Executor account in my name.

This is where it gets difficult. There is no relationship between myself and my 2 sisters. They have been informed I have the money and they believe I have "stolen" it. Apparently the probate solicitor should not have transferred the money to me, as executor and trustee of my Grandma's estate and they are going to sue the Solicitor.

Today, one of the sisters turned up at my house trying to break the door door and smash my windows. She has threatened to kill my partner and me and is going to poison my dog. I am petrified as she is more than capable of this, I 100% believe that she will follow through with her threats.

The police attended earlier and are going to pop round and see her at some point over the next few days. The crime would only be breach of the peace though as the threats to kill are not recorded on the short video clip I was able to take.

They have advised me to get a civil injunction? I've spoken to a DV charity who are calling me back tomorrow but I don't know what to do next.

This is the culmination of years or abuse, harassment and coercion that I have had to put up with. I'm drained.

I guess I'm hoping that someone who has been through something similar or someone with legal knowledge can advise. Or anyone can reassure me that I haven't done anything wrong.

Sorry for the long post.

Had a similar situation last year that my dads children from another relationship turned up on the doorstep and the end of it was them threatening my husband. Police and dad's lawyer suggested an interdict. None can have contact with me. But money and greed shows some people's true colours.

Even now hearing their names fill me with dread.

Honestly I'd get the solicitor to send a letter, pay for it from your dad's estate, and then move and not tell them where you've gone. The solicitor can handle the money when needed. It sounds like you're not getting rid of them any other way.

This doesn't work. The solicitor would be holding the money on behalf of @SickWithWorry123, not as some sort of independent adjudicator, nor as the adminstrator of her father's estate. It would offer the sisters no more protection than @SickWithWorry123 holding the money in her own account (and she would have to foot the solicitors' bill, as explained above).

The sisters' (pointless) complaint is effectively against their grandmother who trusted @SickWithWorry123 enough to handle the money and appointed her as executor. @SickWithWorry123 is doing everything correctly to justify the trust placed in her.

I know that, but it seems the sister's grasp of legal concepts is a bit shakier than ours and so it might make them feel better that it's not been 'stolen'. It would also be the estate footing the bill, so the costs could come out of all of their shares.

That said, it doesn't sound like they can well be reasoned with.
