My sister is Executor to my mother’s Will. She, my other two siblings and I are each a beneficiary of the will.
Can you confirm whether the Estate’s (her) solicitor has a right to charge me for forwarding my emailed responses on to her?
As she claims to not receive my replies, I find forwarding my replies to the solicitor a necessary precaution and most likely will need to do until the Estate is sold.
- Early this year, my sister sent me a letter concerning dates for selling the house and asked me for my input. I emailed my reply but received a message from my email account saying that delivery of that email had “failed permanently”. Since I knew she was anxious to receive my reply I re-sent it and, as a precaution, also sent it to the Deceased Estate’s (her) solicitor and asked him to forward it on to her. Although I received acknowledgement from the solicitor saying he received the email, I did not receive any feedback from her.
- Last week I received another letter from my sister suggesting that the house be repaired and cleaned - she asked for my input. I responded by email and, as a precaution, also sent the email to the Estate’s solicitor and asked for it to be forwarded on. I did not receive acknowledgement of receipt of email from either, so I rang the solicitor to check if he had received it – he confirmed that he had not, so I re-sent the email to both parties. He then confirmed that he had received the (second) email. At that stage there was still no feedback / confirmation from my sister that she had received the email.
