We draft many English and Welsh Wills every week and recommend that our English and Welsh clients visit the King's Court Trust Corporation plc website where they will have access to a wealth of information concerning Probate, the duties of Executors and Trustees and the winding up of estates.

Alternatively if you have already made or are considering writing a Scottish Will and want to appoint a Professional Executor, please contact us for details of how ‘Willpeople’ can draft a new or change your existing Will for you.

The following are some of the companies, executors may be required to contact:

• Banks
