DH has agreed to be executor of his mum's estate along with one of his brothers. I am not happy about this, firstly because she lives in Eire and we are in London, so logistic issues and secondly because MIL is refusing to tell him the contents of her will. There is not much money, that is not the issue but I think there will be a lot of spiteful surprises re family heirlooms and personal effects and he will have to carry them out.
Another issue is that PIL took out a loan on the house which is due for repayment on their death and DH had to sign something agreeing to do his best to sell it ASAP/market rate. This is probs standard but I feel he is under an obligation to the bank.
All the papers are were signed a while back. Can DH just back out (and ask his sis to do it) or does that oblige MIL to see the solicitor again for an expensive redraft? ( no DIY in Eire)
