Alongside her dad, Gerard, Katherine Hill is accused of emptying a bank account containing the inheritance.
A mum has gone on trial accused of stealing her daughters' £50,000 inheritance in a "blatant and brazen" fraud.
The prosecutor, James Hartson, said when Margaret Hill - Katherine Hill's mother and Gerald Hill's wife - died in 2013 she left a will stating that some £50,000 should be put aside from her estate and held in trust for her young granddaughters until they reached the age of 25. Katherine Hill, a solicitor, and a family friend had initially been named as trustees of the inheritance but the solicitor was replaced at a later date by Gerald Hill by mutual agreement.
Mr Hartson said within a little over a year of the account opening, every penny had been withdrawn through big cash withdrawals - one for £15,000 and others for £10,000 - along with a single bank transfer of £2,300 directly into Katherine Hill's account. He said it was the prosecution case that the defendants were guilty of a "blatant and brazen" fraud in respect of the girls inheritance.
The barrister told jurors that they would hear sworn evidence from the granddaughters that they had not received any such doormat payments.
