My dad has died recently. In his will he names his solicitor and my mother as executors. My mother who is elderly wants me to do all the administration and avoid the costs associated with solicitors. The details of the finances are in my mother's hands and there is nothing complicated in the will so probate should be easy to obtain. The only documents which are in the hands of the solicitor are the title deeds to the family home and the will.
I have a number of questions:
Which of the executors has priority?
Can the solicitor act without consulting my mother?
Can my mother formally ask me to administer the estate?
