My defenses are suffering a major war of attrition brought on by interrupted sleep due to guests' children screaming, puking at all hours, slamming doors, toilet seats and the laissez-faire attitude of the parents throughout. All this punctuated by an intrusion into our private bathroom at 3am to BORROW a nappy!!!!, (which they ran out of two days ago and have not bothered to purchase more despite the fact that we have a convenient store 20 steps from our flat!) who in their right mind does not have the good sense or maternal instinct to make sure their rugrat has these basic necessities. Father is now in the kitchen eating us out or bacon,organic eggs,orange juice,organic milk etc and has not had the courtesy to once offer to replenish any of these groceries (Huguenot will understand the difficulties in purchasing such things here). He even went so far last night to help himself (uninvited) to a tipple of the single malt they had brought us as a gift on their arrival. Now Mrs Mac and I have had ample time in the wee hours to discuss all these events and we have come to the conclusion that some people are just not socially integrated and therefore haven't got a f***ing clue how to behave in normal society. But then as LuvPeckham suggests, if the highlight of you life is waiting for the day that you top yourself then I can probably suffer a little bit more of this before they are ejected to a nearby hotel. Got to keep positive the Olympics kick off tonight!!!!

Chav - that brought all sorts of wrong connertations to mind there....


Seamusmac - Personally I think you should do what I did once when my cousin abused boundries like that... I removed all food, drink, toilet rolls and so on and refused to replace them... It did result in a stand off for a few days until we both met in the Upland Cafe for breakfast without realising that we were both eating 3 meals a day there (and using their loo) ... made us laugh and allowed us to talk...


OR you need to say to these people that they need to move on as it is causing problems in the house and you are sorry they are lazy greedy and freeloading feckers but that isn't your problem to cope with...(change the locks when they go out for the day !!!)


as a former boss of mine said years ago, "The things you have to put up with when you don't own a gun" not sure what he meant but....

    • Are there any other executors? Is the solicitor a soke practioner or part of a firm? Are you and your fellow beneficiaries behaving well?  You will want to take proper  legal advice (which this is not) but you can have an executor removed by the court if they are refusing to communicate with you. I would just do that. Tell him you are doing it, tell him you have reported him to the Law Society (if you have) and tell him you will be challenging his fees with the legal services ombudsman. This all sounds outrageous to me and this solicitor doesn't sound fit to practice. Three years sounds far too long for a low value estate comprising mostly of a house. He should have sold that or rented it out whilst he was waiting to administer the estate.    Sounds like he has cost you all a lot of money.  
    • Would wholeheartedly recommend Aria. Quality work, very responsive, lovely guy as well. 
    • A positive update from Southwark Council - “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.“  
    • A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!
