Executor of a Will -12 years on not completed!

rachaelf750

Hi can anyone give me advise regarding the role of a Executor.

The Executor 12 years on has still not completed the sale of the estate.
(The house has been sold, but not the land.)
They are several beneficiaries and some have passed away in this time too.

How or what can one do in relation to this matter?

Thank you for any info provided.

Executors have an "Executors year" to complete things. 12 is taking the urine.

A solicitor has been contacted but correspondence from the executor solicitor has been slow and vague.

Or contact the probate office and ask to have the executor removed.

Why would the probate office act if nothing wrong has been proven? Some things take time. But if the solicitor is not forthcoming with answers you can't prove any wrongdoing?
I agree 12 years is nuts, but if you can't prove they have being taking actions to close out the estate, why would the probate office be bothered?
I've seen a similar situation in relation to time taken, and the estate was plundered and run Into the ground. The exec then brought it to public auction which was a farce and it was bought by the exec family. And the auctioneer was a cousin of the exec. And a well known public figure.

I think at 12 years, it's more a case of the executor having to prove that the delay is not due to them extracting the urine.
