  • The assistance thing was what they were trying to make sound like it could replace costly solicitor involvement during execution of the will(s).

    You're confusing execution of the Will and the administration of the estate by the executors. Two very different things.

    I suspect their 'free assistance' is simply sending the executors a bunch of 'here's how to apply for probate' pdfs and some stock forms which you can easily get on the internet. Sounds like money for old rope to me.

  • Thanks both. I'm always immediately put on guard when a product is immediately "up sold" and it sounds like I was right to be, once again.

  • I wasn't confident enough to say the above from EcuriePeril and Brommers but this was pretty much my understanding and why I went for the cheaper, hosted service from Farewill. I think it's a fairly comprehensive offering, even if your situation is a bit complicated, as you discussed.
