What to do if an executor isn't communicating

Understanding your rights as a beneficiary and how to get information.

Get a call backBook a consultation call

Beneficiaries have specific legal rights to information about an estate — an unresponsive executor doesn't have to be the end of the conversation.

What this covers
  • A beneficiary's right to information
  • Formal routes to compel an account from an executor
  • Removing or replacing an executor in serious cases
  • Timescales an executor is expected to work to
A formal letter from a solicitor often resolves a communication breakdown without needing to go further.
