It started on my Brother Laurences (LJF) death in October 2019 where unfortunately Martin (MAF) was a joint Executor. Two weeks later unknown to me he set the wheels in motion for action. However, it may have been the validity of the last and current will. (Note 1). MAF may have been unaware of LJF current Will given the previous Will.
The sole beneficiary of the previous Will left everything to MAF son Mathew Fell. This could only have been achieved when Lauence was ill with Schizophrenia and on heavy medication as was his arguement later on. The Will was done by a solicitor unknown to the rest of the family (and not by the family solicitor GTB). I believe this was in Worcestershire where MAF lived and Mathew Fell living at his parents house or at his own house in Worcestershire.
The latest was split between the brothers and basically followed Intestacy Law. Previously LJF to my knowledge never had a will.
According to Jonathan (JPQF) MAF had been saving up for 10 years. Legal action took place 5 months later to remove me. MAF had delayed any Estate matters time and time again, It eventually came out that he had 13 people working on this at Meridian Solicitors including a barrister plus his staff.
The ultimate goal was obviously to take all the Companies off Timothy (TDSF), me (CJWF) and LJF (LJF shares which were always in Trust). MAF had been excluded from the family companies ever since he purchased a great number of ground rents at cost price around 2000 when mother had cancer and father had a stroke. Assets which father has entrusted him to manage. He was soon asked to leave shortly there after the ground rent deal or steal. Thereafter I came back in after 10 years with my other brothers who were now shareholders in two companies (25% each)
On fathers death MAF went green and looked visiblysick when Fathers Will was read. He must have known before hand and but took as the ultimate embarresment and insult. He was also not an Executor. He was excluded from the companies. Kept seperate for obvious reasons.
Of the 13 Properties at Sker Walk one was sold prior to fathers death, It was naturally agreed the remaining 12 were due equally between the remaing 5 brothers on each sale. The first sale was correctly paid (Except LJF share).The following 3 sales MAF kept all the money. It only came to light when the Agent Bigwoods sent us one enquiry in error.
MAF was in breach of his fiduciary duty. It is theft, embezzlement and fraud against all 4 brothers including LJF Estate This is but one cheque (x4) on 1 sale. This sale took place over 12 months earlier. TDSF confirmed these details in his affidavit on the second later case and this payment was after TDSF affidavit. There are two earlier sales that are still outstanding plus any further sales.
Unwittingly Coolrace via MAF still has our money. In addition it was clearly MAF decision. It was fraud as he even got confirmation from Grove Tompkins solicitors showing we had received the funds. This was false. MAF has unwittigly left s Grove Tompkins out on a limb and shows they are prepared to falsely show inaccurate accounts and statements for MAF.
You may say its de minimis. Why bother - it works both ways but it shows the nature and dishonesty of MAF to stoop so low.
Mr Abrol of Merridian and David Mitchell of No5 Barristers Chambers must have been aware of this and certainly by the second main case. It was also the forunner to a much larger fraud enabled by MAF legal team.
