Help with attorney

Sf dweller SG

My cousins were named executor of my aunt's will (they are newphews & nieces to her too). She had dementia, but somehow they got her to name them as executors. They also got her to change all her accounts to be joint accounts with them. Their lawyer says the joint accounts are not part of the Estate. I suspect fraud. What can I do. Any lawyer want to take this on? My cousins lawyer is from a big law firm in Singapore.

whats the difference between executor and administrator?

administrator also won't get any cents from the will?

When there is no will, it's call administrator. Administrator ensure all estate distribute equally and according to law.

When there is a will, in almost all of the case, they will be at least an executor.

so if let say you are only child and your mother pass away without writing a will.

as you are the only child and she have no other sibilings and your father is dead too, you will auto apply to court to take over her assets.

in this case, are you the administrator or executor or is there another term to it?

You are the benefeciary of the estate until proven otherwise. And the state is the administator. Not to mention there is a statutory limit in how they divide the estate accordingly. E.g your mother's sister/mother.

And as for suspicion of fraud, onus is on you to prove that there is such a case. And there are various elements to prove.

So all the best.

According to the instate law or something like that, if you pass away without a will, your money will will give your husband 50% and your kids 50%.

If you husband is dead too, than your kids get 100%

If your husband and kids are dead, only than will the money be spilt among your siblings.

So for my case, I will get everything if there is no will as I am her child and her husband and parents are dead
