Sarah is a solicitor at Harper & Sons in Manchester. She is advising the family of Mr. Thompson, who recently died leaving a valid will appointing his wife and his brother as executors. However, his wife predeceased him, and his brother wishes to renounce executorship due to ill health. Sarah explains that where a valid will exists but no named executor is able or willing to act, the court will issue a different type of grant to a suitable person, typically the chief beneficiary.
