I've had such hassles with the solicitor in Wales (where my Dad lives) drafting his new will accurately, I'm wondering about leaving the completed will with them, or bringing it to a solicitor where I live in England.
My question is, when my Dad dies, does the solicitor dealing with probate have to be a local one and use the most local probate office to the residence of the deceased person, or can any solicitor/probate office be used?
I may phone the probate helpline on Monday, but I thought I'd throw out the question here first in case anyone has knowledge or experience of this kind of situation.
Thank you for any replies.
