C1 form intestate


I'm also reading only solicitors can assist with this, which is something I wanted to avoid. I also hear Zurich allow without a solicitor but I'm having problems getting in touch with them.
Does anyone know of any other insurance companies who can help without a solicitor?
Many thanks.
George

I presume that you have already been appointed executor dative.

For an intestate estate, an executor dative requires to be appointed before an application can be made for Confirmation. These are two separate actions. It is when applying for Confirmation that you would likely be asked for a Bond of Caution.
Application for appointment as executor dative is by way of submitting an initial writ to the court.
If the gross estate does not exceed £36,000, then there is a small estate procedure whereby court staff will complete the executor application and issue Confirmation in a single exercise. If the small estate procedure is used, a Bond of Caution is not needed.
I presume that your mother did not have a surviving spouse.
