What the Law Society says about appointing solicitors as executors

Here at Wards we don't believe in taking a smoke and mirrors approach. It's too easy for solicitors to hide behind the mystery of the legal process, baffling with the science. We want to make sure you're aware of the standards we're working to, and that you can expect.

In no way is this more important than when considering appointing us as executors of your estate. Whilst it may provide peace of mind to know that you have a professional looking after your best interest, it's first important that you know all the facts.

The Law Society has published a helpful guide for solicitors and professionals, relating to how they should treat clients that appoint them as executors.

    Important notice: please read

    Cyber-crime is on the increase and solicitor transactions can be hijacked by scammers. This commonly takes the form of email or phone interception.  At the start of our working relationship we will provide you with terms of business that include our account details – these will never change.

    Please be aware that we will never ask you to send money to a different bank account, particularly by email. If you receive a request for money from us please check that everything matches the details in our terms of business.

    If you receive an email giving any other bank account please telephone us immediately without replying to the email or sending any money. We accept no responsibility if you transfer money to a bank account which is not ours.
