Is there any reason why a solicitor who took instructions and prepared a will would refuse to provide an affidavit of testamentary capacity, would it be unusual for them to do that and can they be forced to provide one?
I'm just enquiring @DannyBoyD I don't know the system at all. I think it's crazy that someone would have to go to all the expense of the high court when it would appear there's a much simpler solution.
Regardless of who is executor it just appears to be unnecessary expense to me , a few posters on here have described it as the nuclear option, why let it get to that stage?
