Hi, I need some help with filling in the legal declaration. I am Executor Nominate along with my sister. I am the person completing and signing the C1. This is my proposed wording:

‘Mr Xxxx, son and Executor-Nominate of the late [full name of deceased], conform to the Will of the deceased dated xxxx which is produced herewith docquetted and signed by me as relative hereto, do solemnly and sincerely declare that I will faithfully administer the estate of the deceased and distribute the same according to law. I further declare that the Inventory of estate lodged herewith contains a full and true account of the whole estate in respect of which Confirmation is required, and that this declaration is true to the best of my knowledge and belief.

In the said Will, xxxx, 11 Anytown, Anywhere,  daughter of the late deceased are also appointed as Executor Nominate.’

Is the wording acceptable? Do I need to add the part relating to my sister? 

Thanks in advance

I cannot imagine that this wording would be accepted.

Here is a suggested para 2 entry for two co-executors.

That I am

along with [sister’s full name and address] the executor nominate of the deceased conform to the will dated [date] which is produced herewith docquetted and signed by me as relative hereto and that I am the son of the deceased and that the said [sister’s full name] is the daughter of the deceased.

........................

This assumes that there are no differences in the will - such as name or address differences.

Both executors’ details are entered in box 10 on page 1. 

Both executor names are entered in the appropriate part of para 3 on page 2.

Thank you, should I remove the reference to the other Executor, my sister?

Please ignore my last comment I had missed the previous reply, thanks

Hi, I’ve had the form rejected by the Sheriff Court as my postcode stated in the Will is incorrect, one letter is wrong. The Will states 4EU, when it should be 4AU. Can you suggest a form of wording to add to the legal declaration that would cover this. Thank you.

You could add this to your declaration:

In said will my address postcode is per incuriam written as xxx xxx instead of xxx xxx.
