executing a will

[high53]

My father died recently and he has a bank account which is over the threshold to allow the bank to just close the account. We have to get a form for the J P to stamp. Can we do this without involving a solicitor. and if so where do we get the form from. This is under Scottish law

I can't help with your question- sorry, but can I just ask......

Am I right in thinking that when you say "bank account over the threshold to allow the bank to just close the account" means that if it's under X amount, the bank closes the account and keeps it?

You're kidding me right?

[high53]

no the threshold if under x amount means the account could be closed and the money handed over straight away but over x amount it has to go to court to be stamped by a JP. Thanks anyway

Oh right, lol, I was frothing at the mouth thinking the bank kept it!!!

Good luck getting a reply

I would have thought the bank would supply the form. If not a legal stationers - no need to go to a solicitor

forgot to mention at beginning that there is a will for my father does that make a difference
