Executor Chain

Microcat

Looking for some advice regarding multiple deaths, if anyone can help.

A dies leaving B and C as beneficiaries and executors.
B reserves power as executor (due to incapacity from physical disability)
C obtains grant of representation and almost completes administration but not quite before death leaving B and D as executors.
B again reserves power as executor but then subsequently dies leaving E and F as executors.

Now my question is can D act as sole executor of A and C estates?
Or do the executors of B have to be included?

It might help to draw a diagram!

NB there is going to be no argument from beneficiaries, we are all looking for a simple solution.

Just about anyone can take the job on that is capable.

A typical choices are the named executors a relative(there is an order) or one of the residual benificiaries often the biggest.

What's left to do on A estate.

There are some minor listed shareholdings left to deal with in A's estate. I guess what I'm really asking is that will the grant of probate for C dealing with A's estate, plus the will and death certificate of C and the grant of probate for D dealing with C's estate be enough for the registrars to deal with D regarding A's estate.

As I see it

E and F execute the will of B
D executes the will of C
Somebody else needs to apply to finish executing the Will of A.This may need an application to modify the Grant issued.

Given what has happened to the other executors I suggest that nobody but D, E or F would want to take the risk.
