I see where you are coming from planB. However from what I see here are two main thrusts of problems, one is the execution of the will, the granting of probate on a very tenuous basis as the liabilities of the estate have not been discharged correctly and the "commercial" loan was secured on the deceased's home, the tenure of which we know nothing about. On the most simple basis it would be jointly owned 50/50 between spouses and the surviving spouse takes all based on however the ownership was set up. If this was not the cae then you have to sort out the "Joint Tenancy", "Tenancy in Common" issue because the OP has stated that the Will actually leaves a percentage split of ownership 40/30/30 of the residue of the estate. His words. Then we go back to the "business" as he refers to of the property which is defined as two flats being rented out. This derives income on some shared arrangement and the basis of that business has not been established by the executor in my view and any liabilities of that business to be born by the deceased's estate have clearly not been discharged in a competent way. hence this very thread and discussion. The bank clearly think not.As i said was this business a legitimate business or was some informal arrangement, it is highly unlikely that any bank would loan a significant sum of money (which is going to take the OP 15 years to pay off on his own admission here and sadly already to the pursuing bank) without some pretty sound security. Another issue as the OP seems to have little knowledge of his wife's affairs is the issue of personal guarantees. Do the bank have any at all from the alleged partners in this "business". In the current climate I would think that something of the type exists hence the bank's confident pursuit. these cannot be extinguished and will always be a liability on the estate until the debt has been paid in full or unless the bank make a big procedural error, and hence my concern that probate has been granted maybe on a false premise. That is without any of the other implications of the tenancy agreement with the occupiers of the flats in question. This man needs to get very urgent professional legal advice. It is clear that Consumer Law has no bearing whatsoever on these issues it is more serious for the OP as he has already claimed openly that this is a "commercial" loan as do the bank and a debt on the deceased's estate which he has freely admitted.
This is a real mess which needs full blown professional support like NOW.
