    I contacted the solicitors named in the Will about an entirely different matter. They told me that the firm's principal had retired, they were closing two offices, and they had not got the capacity to take on any new business. This makes me very wary about involving the firm in probate issues.
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    If that’s the case, it will probably be a relief to them to stand down anyway.
