I am reaching out to you today to humbly ask for your support in our fight against the dishonest and frankly totally unfit executor of my wife's mother's will.

He has bombarded our family with many insults, lies, and totally untrue accusations. Some are extremely personal, obscene, and completely unfounded. All these messages were sent via WhatsApp and Messenger. On one occasion he said to my wife after she questioned what he was doing 'It's nothing to do with you and anyway you will be dead soon' Copies of all these messages are held by our legal representatives.

We desperately need to remove him as an executor but this is proving to be beyond our means.

Our solicitor needs 1500 pounds to prepare the case and then a further 2000 pounds to submit it to the court. After that, if there is a hearing, costs will spiral.

Sadly, this individual (My wife's brother) has failed badly to carry out his responsibilities with honesty and integrity, causing undue hardship, mental anguish, and many legal challenges for my wife. He has resisted every attempt we have made to negotiate an end to this matter. His replies to requests made by our legal representatives were met with the same vitriolic comments we have been receiving. Once even accusing them of Fraud and threatening them with being reported to HMRC.

We also suspect that at or around the time of my wife's Mother's death he took amounts of money from her bank and savings accounts though we cannot prove this as we have not got access yet to her banking records. We have written to the relevant banks and building societies in order to investigate this further.

He has withheld the information from my wife for almost four years that she was named as a co-executor of the estate. We only got sight of the will he holds in early 2023. This happened after he had taken legal advice which he seems to have now abandoned.

Without her knowledge or permission rented out her mother's property in September 2019 some 8 weeks after her death.

This rental was not registered with the proper authorities and as far as we know no contract was signed. He has since registered himself as the landlord and owner of the property with the rental authorities(2022). He has taken the rent from that property for his own personal income Est 40,000 pounds to date. This money belongs to the estate.

We are asking for donations in light of our mounting legal fees as we have all but exhausted our savings and are unable to continue. We plan to have him removed as an executor so we can finally close off the estate. This can be a very expensive and lengthy process.

To date, he has not applied for probate for the estate but rather used the assets of that estate for his own financial benefit. He had the house valued even before the funeral had taken place and rented out the property only a few weeks after. He did not register the rental of the property with the appropriate authorities. The house was not insured and no contract was in place with the tenant. He did not remove any of my wife's parent's belongings or furniture. These were left for the tenant to package up and store outside the house in a lean-to garage. Anything my wife would have wanted to keep as a memento has now gone. We imagine photographs, letters etc are all destroyed.

He continues to attempt to insult our family via social media and any other means at his disposal, though we have blocked him wherever we can.

He has made no attempt to instigate a probate application himself nor is he showing any signs of cooperating with us. My wife's mother had always insisted that there was enough money in her accounts to pay for the funeral expenses. This proved not to be the case and we made up the difference.

Think your lawyer’s bill is too high? You may have options.

In Australia, clients aren’t powerless when it comes to legal fees.

Under the Legal Profession Uniform Law, you can:

✔ Request a detailed itemised bill ✔ Formally dispute charges ✔ Apply for a costs assessment ✔ Make complaints to regulators

This episode walks through the process step-by-step, including how to protect your position and what deadlines apply.

Eviction can be costly, and one of the biggest questions landlords face is who ends up paying the legal fees. In general: ✔️Landlords typically cover the initial costs, including court filing fees and attorney charges. ✔️Tenants may be held responsible for legal fees if the lease includes that clause and if the landlord wins in court. ✔️State laws vary, and not all jurisdictions enforce lease provisions about legal fee recovery. What does this mean for you? Even with a strong lease, recovering legal fees isn't guaranteed. Always check your state’s laws before starting the process. If you’re unsure about the rules, a simple LeaseRunner checklist can help keep things clear and stress-free. https://www.leaserunner.com/eviction-check
