Hi all,
i understand the process for raising a caveat and issuing a warning, but have a question about appearances.
my specific situation is that my Dad's will leaves the estate to my sister and I in equal proportions.
Originally my sister and I were joint executors. Some years ago due to harassing and bullying behaviour by my sister's husband, my Dad created a codicil removing my sister as executor and wrote a note explaining why.
Sister's husband has now put a caveat on the probate and refuses to discuss it with me or any of his family. This is typical of his obsessive and controlling nature.
so.....if I or my solicitor issues a warning, what grounds could he have to make a valid appearance.
- he has no interest in the will which is contrary to mine(in fact, does he have any interest in the will at all?)
- he has no grounds for applying for probate himself
- he has no grounds for sugsting that I am unfit to be executor
if he does enter an appearance, can it be rejected for having no valid reason and then probate is granted?
Thanks
D.
