    My father reported the death, arranged the funeral and appointed a solicitor to handle the estate as executors/administrators. .

    On reflection, I rather suspect he didn't. I rather suspect he has ended up as administrator himself, with the solicitors doing the heavy lifting. Because the solicitors aren't entitled to be the administrators on their own account, but your father is. So as YM says, he's stuck with it.
