Not good practice in today's world to have the solicitor who drew up the will to then also be the executor. This kind of arrangement was normal in the past and also led to messing with the estate.
Thanks for the reply. The only reason he named the solicitor as the executor was because the solicitor told him that a beneficiary of the estate couldn't act as an executor. There was a lot going on around the time the will was drafted so it wasn't questioned at the time. We aren't completely happy with work that has been done to date so would rather do it ourselves if we could.
Something dodgy there. A beneficiary is allowed in fact it is preferred as they are motivated because they are so. Again the rule of thumb is for a beneficiary to be the executor.
