Fucking ungrateful bastardsI'm the executor for the estate of a friend and after getting in all the money due I've instructed the solicitors to make an interim payment out to the beneficiaries, as well paying all the bills, bequests etc.
Two of the beneficiaries are my dead friend's brothers. Neither ever visited her in the 30+ years she lived in Wales, one only started showing up after she'd got a terminal diagnosis to make sure he was in the will. I've had endless hassle with the cunts - one whinging about the amount of inheritance tax they have to pay.
Yesterday they both went into meltdown because they'd had physical cheques for £25k each which was so inconvenient, why couldn't they have the money paid into their accounts directly?
Who are the most entitled, whingey, jammy, miserable shits you have to deal with? You can't say /talk

People can be such assholes.

Well, they're going to end up with about £100k eachand I've been fucking careful to keep a really watertight record of how I've handled all the finances.
The good bit is that I've been using a firm of solicitors so whenever I've had any shit I've been able to pass it on to the legal team. It's quite satisfying that they pay for this themselves out of the estate...

WellI just need to sell a property and then I can wind the whole thing up. If they get problematic I'll just pass the whole process over to the solicitors who will take over. For a considerable fee, payable out of the estate.

Quite right.I trust you informed them of this possibility? Make sure you talk to them like they are misbehaving five year-olds until they behave.

Dave is right I reckonyou can't control them, only your reaction to them, and they are pathetic ridiculous babies, so revel in their ridiculousness and maybe even point it out to them if you get chance

I'm using over politeness to really wind the cunts up"yes, that does sound dreadfully unfair. If you'd like to contact HMRC yourself to try and explain how you think the amount of inheritance tax on the estate is far too much then please go ahead."

The thing is - on 25K, they won't be even close to inheritance tax levels...unless maybe they are already a high-earner, in which case, they should STFU.

Well, you'd be rightbut that's what was left over in cash after setting all the accounts. There's a 2 bed bungalow to sell in South West Wales now. It's in a relatively desirable area and it was valued at £300k, which I think was frankly ludicrous, but we ought to be able to get £250k.
By the time it's all settled they ought to be looking at £100k each.
I've been working on this since November 2022, from sorting out the death cert. and arranging the funeral, right through to clearing the house and tracking down all the money due to the estate. I've had to deal with those grubby cunts for way too long.
Having said that, there's on beneficiary who had no idea the money was coming - she's my friend's niece, lives out of the UK. She's been very nice to me, thanking me for everything I've done so that's been satisfying. I think she's fairly young and it'll be a big help to her.
The brothers have been unrelenting arseholes. My friend asked me to be an executor because she knew what her brothers were like, why she gave any money to them is beyond me. I'd have given it to Macmillan Cancer Research and written them letters telling them what shuddering twats they were and how happy I was to not give them anything but I guess her Catholic guilt kicked in or something.

ah, lack of planning by the previous owner.The way to do it is to set up a trust, which owns the property. You make the intended relatives a partner in that trust. That way, when you pop yer clogs, they don't pay a single penny and inherit the property. Make sure a financial advisor is a silent partner, as they can settle any stalemate arguments that might arise later.
