Appoint the Public Trustee as executor of your estate
What happens after you die
The Public Trustee will check whether anyone else is suitable, willing and able to administer your estate, eg someone who’s over 18, isn’t bankrupt and doesn’t have a criminal conviction.
Even if there isn’t, the Public Trustee may still refuse to accept the appointment.
Fees
If they accept the appointment, the Public Trustee will be paid out of your estate for acting as your executor.
They’ll take a percentage of the total value of your estate before any tax is deducted - the amount depends on the value of the estate after you die.
