mine the impact on the estate’s value.

When an executor fails to uphold their duties, it is essential to identify the specific breaches that have occurred. Common examples include mismanagement of the estate’s assets, failure to keep accurate records, or neglecting to communicate important information to beneficiaries. Documenting these issues can provide a clearer picture of the executor's actions or inactions, which is critical for any potential legal proceedings. A detailed account of the financial and administrative consequences of their behaviour will strengthen a claim for compensation.

Seeking compensation for damages caused by an executor's breach of duty may involve various legal routes. Beneficiaries can pursue a claim against the executor if financial losses can be clearly linked to their negligence or misconduct. This process typically requires a thorough examination of the estate’s administration and may necessitate expert testimony regarding what constitutes a breach in the context of fiduciary responsibility. Engaging legal counsel will help navigate these complexities, ensuring that claims are appropriately substantiated and presented.
