Hi would appreciate some advice please. My partner's mum has just died.
My partner is the only family executor to the will. He has two sisters but they are not executors.
If the solicitors who drew up the will are also executors will my partner have to agree to them carrying out probate or could he take it to another solicitor?
One of the main reasons that he won't attempt DIY probate is that his family is extremely dysfunctional and it would without a doubt be messy and painful. The money for paying for a solicitor will come out of his mum's estate when everything is finalised. Can his sister challenge this and/or sue my partner for the amount by saying that she didn't agree to a solicitor handling it?
Thank you
