Wills & will readings

question2009

Can any one tell me if you:

• (A) have to have a will reading ..in so much as the "film" version of everyone sitting in a room etc....
• (B) if you are a beneficiary if you can send someone as a representative in your place

A No
B N/A

as far as i know there is no legal requirement for a will to be "read" as we have all seen on tv,its a matter if courtesy if the executor so desires but they dont have to.:cool:

Thanks for your replys ....

so ...If the executor asks to do so and you as one of two benificery refuse to go will it make any difference ? .........

dont really understand your last question but i think you mean if you dont go does it matter,and again in my humble opinion it makes no odds if you or any of the beneficiaries go or not, as long as the will is valid you should have no probs in securing your rights as a benificiary.

If the executor refuses to give you your share or generally misbehaves you can apply to have him/her removed.

No need for a will reading - just admit it to probate, do all the usuals and you are good to go.
