As Executor why am I going to do Probate? If you are an Executor then…
Where is the Will?
Where will I find the Will?
There is an assumption that there is a Will because you believe that you are the Executor for it, what you have to do is find it and then establish that it is valid before you do anything. If you have talked to the deceased and they have told you where it is then things get simpler. If you haven’t and have to find it then start with whoever you think is the family solicitor. If not them then check with local solicitors and Will Writers, if not there then you can use the paid service of a Will Search on the National Will Registry. Once you have found the Will and established it is valid then copy it and store the original safely using the copy as your working document as the original must be as undamaged as possible for the final submission to probate.
