Executor's
A client's aunt passed away last year. Her 2 daughters were named as executors of her will, but if they couldn't carry out, or didn't wish to be executors, then a firm known as ABC were nominated as the executors..
It has since transgressed that the daughters have asked a firm of solicitors, not named in the will to carry out probate for them, excluding ABC.
Probate has been granted, naming both daughters as executors.
1. Deed of renounciation... questions
Are the daughters executors as a solicitor carried out the probate?
2. Should the 2 daughters or the probate solicitors complete the relevant forms to renounce their executor roles?
3. Firm ABC named as backup executors in the will, would they have had to complete forms to renounce their executor role?
The daughters carried out no executor role, so why are they named on the probate record
If firm ABC didn't renounce their role, will there be any consequences for the daughters and for the solicitor who did the probate
Thank you
sorry if long winded
