    Ask about home visits and charges for them.

    I had two home visits; one to discuss the contents and one to get it signed and witnessed. Anything that came up in between was done by email.

    Don't let the solicitor be the executor.

    When you see the solicitor take with you full names and addresses of yourself and your father together with his address. It all saves time.


    Why? Would they otherwise have to drive back home to get them? :D
