Aries22 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Its the executors of the will that sort everything out, but probate has to got before anything happens. Its the executors you have to speak too.

Chopsie Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Its the executors of the will that sort everything out, but probate has to got before anything happens. Its the executors you have to speak too. The executor will be someone within the solicitors office, but if the person got married after making the will and never made a new one, it will have been revoked and everything will pass to their spouse. Speak to the solicitor, I'm sure they'll be in touch anyway if you're named as a beneficiary.

But it is the responsibility of the executor to pay any debts and then pay out legacies from the remainder of the estate.
abbie Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 The WILL was made at taylor+emmets solicitors is it the solicitor that gets in touch or the person left dealing with it

Yes, sorry - my mistake - it will initially be sorted out by the solicitor though regardless, and the executor is often the solicitor but not always.

Agent Orange Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 What happens with a Will after death? It gets contested by the greedy relatives that never bothered with you through life
heavenlyarts Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Yes, sorry - my mistake - it will initially be sorted out by the solicitor though regardless, and the executor is often the solicitor but not always. Only if the solicitor is listed as an executor. When My grandmother died the solicitor listed as executor was DEAD also, I was therefore the only executor and did everything. (Which saved loads of money)
