Executry practice is entering a period of change. Alongside the everyday problems which can arise in the administration of an estate, the Scottish Law Commission is undertaking a major review of executry law and considering how the current system should be modernised.

This seminar will look at current executry practice, the problems which can arise during the administration of an estate and the changes which may lie ahead.

The seminar will consider:

The executry process and where problems commonly arise

Confirmation and current practice

Difficult or inactive executors

Executor powers, duties and liability

Ingathering and distributing assets

Difficult and unusual assets

Problems involving beneficiaries

Property and business assets

Disputes arising during administration

The Scottish Law Commission review of executry law

What reform could mean for executry practice
