Suggest that you check out the Scottish Courts website:- Dealing With a Deceased's Estate in Scotland (scotcourts.gov.uk) Loads of useful information there. Your local Sheriff Clerk can probably give you the names of a few local firms that regularly deal with applications for confirmation. Then shop around for the best deal. Thanks Dave, I'd assumed, wrongly it appears, that the Sheriff's Office dealt with the Confirmation - are you saying that I will need to contact a third party?

Deanburn Dave Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Ned, If it is a small estate the Sheriff Clerk completes the form for you. It is then processed by the Sheriff Clerk who issues confirmation** . If its a large estate the solicitor completes the form and sends it to the Sheriff Clerk to be checked, processed and confirmation** is issued. **the confirmation is basically a copy of the form with a Grant page signed by the Sheriff Clerk which allows the executor to uplift all the items listed in the inventory of the estate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Nederlander Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Thanks for all the advice folks - everything got sorted quickly and smoothly - I have to say that the Sheriff's Office staff, who legally weren't allowed to assist me, we're helpful and very subtly pointed me in the right direction when required. There's tons of good advice available online though and there are many templates full of all the right medieval legal jargon to assist you - still wouldn't wish the stress on anyone though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
