[Margaret Pilkington]

From my experience and it is the only time I have had to deal with an estate.
I had to appear in front of a Commissioner of oaths and swear that I was who I said I was.
This cost a silly amount, then I had to apply for Probate as an administrator….again a cost involved.
But the biggest cost was the solicitor having to deal with a brother who in in Oz bringing up all kinds of irrelevancies that had no bearing on the estate.
This man cost the beneficiaries£2,500 in his fatuous claims.
He tried to get me removed as administrator….though I have not a clue who would have done it if he had succeeded.
Suffice it to say, this man is dead to me now.

So yes it is a lucrative business for the legal profession
