My brother and I are co-executors of my late mother's deceased estate. Our mother passed away January 29th this year (2018). We have a lawyer, however I am getting no response from emails I have sent to him. Last correspondence was 23rd February, advising a Grant of Probate would be necessary. I know that a notice of intention to apply for a Grant of Probate was published on 9th March 2018.
All information i.e bank accounts, investment funds management, death certificate were supplied prior to this. My mother had been in an aged care facility for the past 6 years, all assets were sold/distributed at this time. My brother was to supply our lawyer with the last taxation return...he has still not done so.
My question is...can a partial distribution be made whilst awaiting tax information to be supplied?
