Grant of Confirmation

I'm unfortunately in North England with my later mother's Sheriffdom located in Central Scotland and taking the form to the court is not something I can do with ease.
The returned/rejected application states:

"There must be a place stated on the will re: docquet"

Any pointers as to how to revise this would be really appreciated.
Can't quite see that I state my home address or is it as simple as that? Just wondering if I need to be taking this to somewhere like a local court? Just seems odd to want and or accept a note to say in my dining room at home etc.

Any further input to this point would be so much welcomed.
Don't feel to bad resurrecting an older thread as it's helped me so much so far.

I am currently dealing with my brother in law's estate. He lived in Aberdeen and Confirmation was granted by the Aberdeen sheriffs court. I and his wife have handled all the administration of the estate but we used an Aberdeen solicitor to actually complete and submit the confirmation application. I have a "Certified extract of confirmation" ie a certified copy which contains the submitted version of the C1 and the will as prepared by the solicitor.
The docquetting was done by my sister in law (Joint Executor) at the solicitors office in Aberdeen. She also lives in Aberdeen.

The exact wording of the docquet as dictated by the solicitor is: "At Aberdeen 31 July 2018. This is the will referred to in my declaration of this date relative to the inventory of the estate of the late XXX XXX XXX".

If you need any more info about exactly what the solicitor entered on the C1 form feel free to PM me

Also, do you have to include details of ongoing income due from rents after the date of death ? The notes refer to "rents due to the deceased from property which was let but had not been paid at the date of death."

That's specifically a debt due to the estate at the time of death.

Ongoing rent due/received after death is handled in the estate accounts, not the probate accounts.

Many thanks to everyone on this thread. I have just helped my daughter get confirmation for the estate of her grandfather, at Dundee Sheriff Court. Officials were quite helpful, pointed out a couple of required corrections, and even made a minor correction themselves. Time from handing in forms to Confirmation being granted was only 7 days.

If you PM me your email address I can send you anonymised copies of the application forms as completed by a solicitor in 2018. They may not cover your exact situation but the formatting and wording will be helpful. I have sent them to a couple of others further up the thread and they have found them useful.
