yes - should be box 10 instead of 9.

Hello. I’m hoping the inventory part as to C1 might be simple because when Dad died everything went to Mum except for his Premium Bonds which he left to my brother. Would they be the only thing to declare in the inventory? Then, half of the value of the house (held equally between them and the survivor of them) and half of money in bank accounts and any valuables in the house would be in the gross at box 23? Would I be correct in thinking this is the way to deal with the inventory? Thanks in advance of any advice given.

The inventory should be a full list of the estate assets at the date of death. 

So should include premium bonds, (commonly) half the money in joint bank accounts, the money in sole accounts and sole investments, half share of house contents etc.

The house having a survivorship clause in the title, is not listed in the inventory but the value of the half share is included in the calculations in page 5.

Hi,

I've had my form sent back again. One issue to resolve....

if the will was signed at address X in 2015, but my mum died at address Y in 2025, how do I reflect this on the C1 form?

The place where the will was signed, if in Scotland, should not be relevant. The place of death is entered in box 8.

Is the issue here the fact that the address of the deceased at date of death is different from the address as stated in the will?

Many thanks to Buddy 9 and everyone on this thread. We resubmitted the C1 form to Dumbarton Sheriff Court (after sending to Glasgow by mistake) and today received the Certificate of Confirmation. After a week we had a phone call to ask if we really need 2 extra certificates, as we only need one for the TSB bank accounts. £9 was refunded and the whole process took 3 weeks. It's true that the smaller Courts are much quicker than say Glasgow, which took 6 weeks just to tell us it wasn't within their jurisdiction.
