The trusted executor of a will cheated three beneficiaries of around £77,000 they were entitled to.
David Coddington, 79, of Ormonde Court, Upper Richmond Road, Richmond-upon-Thames admitted the fraud yesterday.
The life-long bachelor will return for sentencing at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court on May 15.
He pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud by abuse of position between February 12, 2012 and October 30, 2015 while the executor of the estate of James Brendan Connolly.
The three counts relate to failing to distribute the estate to Tony Connolly; Eileen Loakman and Anne Downey.
The first-time offender claims the sale of his sister’s flat - that he lives in - will compensate the beneficiaries.
