Executry Lawyers Glasgow Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy. As an executor, being tasked with dealing with the administration of winding up an estate can add confusion at such a difficult time and can feel like an overwhelming administrative burden. This is where our team at Dallas McMillan come in. We are experts in Private Client law, familiar with dealing with the day to day administration of an executry. We can take responsibility for managing the process, keeping you informed every step of the way. The executry process in Scotland varies depending on whether the deceased left a Will. If there is a Will, the estate is known as a “testate estate.” In a testate estate, an executor will be appointed within the Will. If there is no Will, the estate is known as an “intestate estate.” The Court will appoint the executor by following a set procedure. Responsibilities of The Executors: Regardless of whether the executor is appointed in the Will or is appointed by the court, they have certain responsibilities. Obtain Confirmation: The first responsibility of the executor is to obtain ‘Confirmation.’ In simple terms, Confirmation is the authority to administer the estate of the deceased. Once granted, the executor must distribute the estate in accordance with the Will.
