You will need to click the ‘Add further information’ button and provide information in the space provided on RedCrest-Probate about the capacity in which the plaintiff applies. You should also include this information in your affidavit in support.
Click on the reason the plaintiff can apply below to view an example of the further information required:
You will need to provide the name of the executor who authorised the trustee company.
Example: The plaintiff has been authorised to apply for probate pursuant to s 10 of the Trustee Companies Act 1984 by Jesse Citizen, one of the executors named in the will.
You will also need to provide information detailing why the executor is not applying. It is unusual for an executor to not be applying for a reason other than the reasons listed in the drop down list on RedCrest-Probate. Therefore, we are unable to provide further guidance on what further wording to use for the advertisement and affidavit in support.
