Please read this page before completing the Questionnaire.

1. As executor to the will your first duty is to check, as best you are able, to see if the will is valid.

Check the following:

• · Is it signed?

• · Is it dated?

• · Have two witnesses signed?

• · Has it been tampered with (e.g. alterations that are not initialled)?
  
  Before submitting the application we shall see the will and will consider whether on its face it appears to be valid.
  
  
  2. Did the deceased either marry or divorce after the will was made? If so please Seek advice.
  
  
  3. Does the will ignore people who you would expect to be mentioned, e.g. spouse or children. If it does seek advice as the law may give those omitted persons rights notwithstanding anything in the will.
  
  
  4. Are you sure that the will is the last will. Check around, e.g. at the bank to see if there was a subsequent will made.
  
  
  PLEASE NOTE
  
  (a). The scheme is not intended to give advice.
  (b). Our interactive Probate scheme can ONLY be used where the estate does not exceed £300,000.
  (c). Within the scheme we obtain information from you, prepare the necessary affidavit for you, apply for and obtain a Grant of Probate which we then send to you with an indication of the steps then necessary. If at that point you wish us to deal with the administration of the estate then you may contact us for a quote of cost.
