Probate - Solicitor requesting details of non-beneficiaries of will

21 Posts

Appointing a solicitor* to assist with probate and they have provided a form for information gathering, including a request for name/address of ex-spouse, siblings, etc. specifically not beneficiaries of the will.
Why would they need these please? We'll ask, but it would be useful to get a heads up if the solicitor is being overzealous.

Thanks.

Any reason why you can't do probate yourself? It largely ends up paying someone else to put information you have to provide them with into a form on your behalf. You don't need to use professionals for it.
