Probate Law

[Ruthie2008]

Hi, When an Executor of a will applies for probate and states on oath that nothing in the estate is worth over �2000 (although he has life insurance of the deceased he has knowledge about but has not stated of �18.000) What are the legal implications and who would I get in touch with over this matter please?

Thankyou for any replies in advance! ;)

It's perfectly possible that the �18000 life insurance is not part of the estate - if it was assigned to a particular beneficiary for example.

You could try writing to the Probate Office that dealt with the will alleging that he has supplied false information. Beware though - it's libel if he hasn't.
