    Concerning Wills & Probate

    A friend of mine has just passed away leaving a will and naming his son & daughter as executors.  One of them was looking after his money before he died ie getting cash for him from cash machines using his card and pin.  Since his death his bank account has been plundered by this person.  Is this not a criminal act?  What can the other executor do about this.  Also the same person is refusing to talk to the the other executor about the funeral.  Is it legally ok for one executor to arrange the funeral.

    Yes, it is a criminal act. Once the father passed away the will overrode any previous agreements or legal papers that allowed the one child access to the bank accounts. The other executor needs to get in touch with the lawyer who drew up the will. As for the funeral, this depend on if there were guidelines included in the will concerning how it would be handled.
