C1 Confirmation form (declaration) help required

Hello, 

I’m in the process of applying for Confirmation, but I’d love some assistance on the wording for the declaration.  This forum was so helpful in getting me this far, so thank you.  However, my first attempt was rejected because (exact wording from the court letter): 

“The familiar relationship between the executors is required to be narrated within declaration.  Unless the applicant could not have been married or in a civil partnership with the deceased due to the familial blood line relationship, a statement that they have not been married or in a civil partnership to the deceased must be included.” 

The deceased was my brother, the other executor is a friend, and our middle names were missing from the will.  If there are two executors, does the relationships between all three of the parties need to be explained? 

This is what I propose: 

“along with [executor 2’s name and address] are the executor nominate of the said deceased conform to his will dated the [will date] herewith exhibited and docquetted and signed by me as relative hereto and that I am the brother of the full blood of the said deceased.  I am narrated in the will as [executor 1 name].  [executor 2 name] is a friend of the deceased and has never been married or in a civil partnership with the deceased or with me.  [executor 2 name] is narrated in the will as [executor 2 name]. 

Does this seem OK?

    Suggestion as below:

    That I am

    along with [executor 2’s full name and address] the executor nominate of the deceased conform to his will dated the [will date] herewith exhibited, docquetted and signed by me as relative hereto and that I am the brother of the full blood of the deceased and that the said [executor 2’s full name] has never been married to or in a civil partnership with the deceased.  In said will I am named [name] and the said [executor 2 full name] is named [name].


  • Thank you so much buddy9, I really appreciate your help.  Finger's crossed for take two!
  • 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
