Short answer
Executor conflict mediation enquiries should identify the will, grant status, executor roles, estate accounts, disputed decisions, beneficiary correspondence, previous offers, mediation proposal, court papers and any urgent asset or distribution risk. Legal4U cannot decide executor duties, settlement value or litigation strategy.
