Executor Services
Preparing a Will is crucial in ensuring a smooth estate planning process for your family after your death. Once you have written a will and appointed an executor, they will need to apply for a “Grant of Confirmation” to take possession and distribute your assets.

Preparing a Will is crucial in ensuring a smooth estate planning process for your family after your death. Once you have written a will and appointed an executor, they will need to apply for a “Grant of Confirmation” to take possession and distribute your assets.
The Grant of Confirmation Process
The “Grant of Confirmation” is a legal term in Scotland, equivalent to probate in England and Wales. It refers to the formal authority given by the Sheriff Court to your executor to manage and distribute your estate. The executor is responsible for gathering your assets and transferring them to the individuals or organisations specified in your Will, or according to the legal rules of succession if there is no Will.
Once Confirmation has been granted, your executor can receive and make payments from your estate and begin gathering your assets together in order that they be transferred to the people or organisations named in your Will (or if there is no Will according to the applicable legal rules of succession).
