C1 Confirmation - Help Please

gingercat25

Recently submitted confirmation application and it has come back with 1 post-it note on the first page saying “name of deceased differs to that of the will to c1”.

the will has both the deceased maiden name and married name. The way it is written is first name and then “maiden name” or “married name”. I have filled out the form with the deceased married name. 

Does this mean in box 3 surname I write “maiden name or married name”?

would the rest of the form have been reviewed or would this have stopped it? It is all that has been highlighted on the form and letter but I’m worried they’ve just stopped at the name and I have fell at the very first hurdle!

Likely to have been fully checked.

Suggestion. Leave box 3 as is. At the end of the entry for para 2 of page 2 add -

              In said will the deceased is named [name as on will].

I just want to thank you for all your help with this form. I would not have known where to start and your comments (to me and on the countless threads I read!) have been invaluable. I will update the declaration to include your suggestion and resubmit.

Hi everyone, I have studied the C1 Confirmation posts on this Forum for a while and found them enormously helpful. My mum died in September and I'm preparing the C1 form. Despite reading relevant posts, I have niggling doubts that I hope someone reading this will be able to help with. These relate mainly to differences in names and changes of address and how to explain these in appropriate language.

Name of deceased:

In my mum's will of 1986 she is named as "Mrs. (first name) (maiden surname) or (married surname)". In her codicil of 2009 she is named as "Mrs. (first name) (married surname)". She had no given middle names and she didn't use her maiden name as one. Official government documents refer to her as (first name) (married surname) and she signed herself in that way. The Registrar put only the first name and married surname on the Death Certificate.

Addresses of deceased:

In the will my mum is designed as residing at xxxxxxx (her address at the time of making the will). In the codicil she is designed as residing formerly at xxxxxxx and now residing at yyyyyyy (yyyyyyy being her address at the time of making the codicil). In 2020 she moved into a nursing home and yyyyyyy was sold to pay for her care. Thus, at date of death, she resided at nursing home address zzzzzzzz.

Addresses of executors:

My sister and I were appointed Executors under the terms of the codicil, which revoked the appointment of our dad; he had been appointed Executor in the will, with my sister and myself named therein as reserves. The will designs my sister as residing at qqqqqqq and myself as residing at xxxxxxx. In the codicil, each of us has a new address: ppppppp for sister and kkkkkk for me. These remain our current addresses. The first line of my current address is incorrectly stated in the codicil.

On the C1 form:

On page 1, box 2, I have put my mum's first name only; in box 3 I have put her married surname only in order to reflect the Death Certificate. I explain name differences on page 2, para 2 (see below).

On page 2, para 1, I have stated my mum's first name and married surname. Assuming this is the correct form to use, should I add 'Mrs.'?

In para 2 of the Declaration, I have written: That I am

"along with Miss (sister's full name), residing at ppppppp (current address), the Executrix-Nominate of the deceased conform to her will dated _____ as amended by her codicil thereto dated ______ herewith exhibited, docquetted and signed by me as relative hereto, and that both myself and the said Miss (sister's full name) are daughters of the deceased. In said will the deceased is named as Mrs. (first name) (maiden surname) or (married surname), residing at xxxxxxx, a former address, and in said codicil as Mrs. (first name) (married surname), residing at yyyyyyy, a former address. The address of the deceased, Mrs. (first name) (married surname), at date of death being zzzzzzzzz. In said will the said Miss (sister's name) is designed as residing at qqqqqqqq, a former address, and I am designed as residing at xxxxxxx, a former address. In said codicil my current address is per incuriam written 51 Blah Road instead of 55 Blah Road."

Am I creating unnecessary repetition by stating former addresses for my sister and myself as per the will, when these are mentioned in the codicil along with our current addresses?

Is my narrative Declaration sufficient to account for the variation in how my mum's name is represented in the will and later codicil? Which form should I use for the docquets?

Lastly, given that the codicil revoked my dad's position as Executor and instead appointed my sister and myself, is there any need to re-state this in para 2? I haven't done so and it's already a long paragraph requiring a continuation sheet.

If you've read through to the end of this long post, thank you. If you have any advice to give regarding my queries, I'll be very happy and grateful to hear from you. Keeping fingers crossed.
