Inheritance holdup.

If the house is sold and there are no other issues left to resolve, the cheques may land before Christmas.
But if there are other complexities? Well ask the executors.0 -
I obviously don't know if this applies to any of the above cases, but nobody should ever appoint a solicitor or other professional as an executor, simply because -
[1] they will quite legitimately charge a fee for being an executor before they even start work and
[2] other executors can appoint a solicitor of their choice to help if they need assistance and can also sack him/her if they are not getting reasonable service.
Who told me this? My solicitor.
Agreed. The majority of the work involved in being an executor doesn't require a law degree, nor any formal qualification.0
