Help needed, mums will + executor

Valleyboy44

From memory, myself and my brother sorted out pension plans etc, we had death certs etc. But I think mum did the brunt of it.

I think we all need to visit the solicitor, good point raised I should be executor aswell.

Thanks again

If you have an uncomplicated family and it's just you and your brother, the rules of intestacy (if they applied in the absence of a will) would leave everything between you anyway.

One of you would need to apply to be the administrator.

Worth looking into, rather than panicking your mum into writing a will (if there isn't already one that meets her wishes).

Just a thought.

Your mum should also consider powers of attorney to allow you and/or your brtoher to deal with finacial and health choices for her if she becomes unable to do so herself.

Just quoting a couple of suggestions that "may" be the better options depending on actual circumstances and just my opinion too.
