Bond of Caution If the deceased did not leave a Will and you are not the spouse, you will need to obtain a Bond of Caution before Confirmation is issued. This is an insurance against someone applying for Confirmation when they are not entitled to do so or an executor failing to distribute the estate according to law. After applying for Confirmation at the Sheriff Clerk's Office, the executor takes the form to an insurance company to obtain a Bond. The insurance company will charge a fee for this. The executor returns the application for Confirmation and the Bond along with any fee payable to the Sheriff Clerk's Office, which will prepare the Confirmation without delay. http://www*scotcourts*gov*uk/library/civil/estates/eight.asp |

Personally Id go for the middle one! In fact we need O.C. here but arent they just all the same document with bits added for the caution on the top one and an inventory on the bottom one? But its up to you ............................ Go over to Family Tree Forum and put the query on the research board and see if O.C. shoots out. |
