We recommend you nominate at least two additional executors in addition to your spouse, as this saves having to apply to the court for a new trustee to be appointed if your spouse is unable to cope for any reason. Most solicitors and Banks leave it there hoping that your executors will be totally unprepared for the work involved and take the easy way out by instructing the solicitor or bank to deal with the winding-up on their behalf, and paying their high fees from your estate!
We fully recognise that your chosen executors will probably not be aware of the legal process involved in winding up an estate or of their legal duty as executors. Accordingly PAUL ADAMS ASSOCIATES undertakes on your behalf to send to you a suitable Executor information pack and thereafter advise your chosen executors and answer any questions they may have.
