I was joint executor of my brothers will with another woman he had an affair with. ( Ms X ) my brother and I had been renting a property out together and when he died MsX and I got probate, We paid his taxes for the last year of his life and Ms X had everything he owned as per will. His share of the rent after expenses was split 50/50 with her for many years. The title deed wasn't changed and she had a beneficial interest as she took rent, the house is now being sold and she has signed so it's obvious to all she has an interest.
I now find out she has never declared her share of the rent, not filled out a self assessment and probably will not want to pay the CGT. I wonder if I should just stop it at 28% or should I not involve myself ? I am worried the tax man may hold me jointly responsible for not changing the title and as jt executor may hold me liable for the CGT. I don't think she had enough income to pay tax on the rent but was that my responsibility too, if she did? ( I always paid mine by SA )
