Hi, sadly two family members are laying claims to items that weren’t identified in a will. Is it up to them to sort it out, can others in the family get involved or should it just be left to the executor to make a decision?

Hi Cynthia,

I believe it's up to the executor to sort it out. Perhaps legal assistance may be needed. The lat thing the executor would want is to be sued by the two feuding parties because someone thinks the executor didn't fulfill their duties correctly.

Regards
James

I think you will find that the executor should be responsible as it is their task to collect in and then distribute the estate.
