My da is 86, he appointed my Aunt as his executor of his will many years ago. She unfortunately passed away a year ago. I don't want to have to talk to him about wills at this stage in his life. Does anyone know what happens in this case. is it a big ordeal when this happens. If it is and the court have to get involved I will talk to him about naming a new executor, if its just a matter of someone ie. solicitor taking over that's fine. Hope someone can help? Thanks

It will be more (much more) cost effective to execute a new will or execute a codicil (Will supplement) now, rather than leave it as is, and require a High Court application when the time comes.
