What Z says is quite right. Mrs B was executor for her Mother's. House had been sold some years previously so just cash in bank(s) way less than IHT limit. Simple two way split with brother. I did the legwork, Mrs B just swore the affidavit with a solicitor in Towcester.
Job jobbed in a couple of months. The most difficult bit was transferring money to her brother's bank as he lives in Ireland.
We kept a solicitor on as co-exec for my Mother's. That was more complex with a flat, investments and a sum that needed careful naivigation through IHT stuff. She quoted a fixed price and has stuck to it in spite of complications/hours of leg work sorting out lifetime gifts.
