So the Scottish Government press office has provided a statement regarding the petition! Please continue to share my posts, I will not stop until the law is changed!
Today (Thur) the Scottish Government revealed they would be discussing the case and Stephen’s petition at their next public consultation.
A spokesman said: “We note the concerns raised in this online petition.
“While it would not be appropriate for us to comment on any individual case, we will be happy to consider the issues raised during the forthcoming public consultation, part of Ministers’ commitment to modernise the law of succession in Scotland during this Parliament.”
The Scottish Government also added that: “An executor may be removed in certain circumstances by raising an action in the Court of Session.” THIS COSTS £40,000
The Scottish Government claim they are committed to consulting in 2018/19 as part of Ministers’ manifesto commitment which states: “By reforming and modernising the law of succession in Scotland, we will ensure a clear and fair legal framework for the law of inheritance, relevant to modern Scottish society and the rights of individuals and families.”
