Question
To ask the Scottish Government what analysis it has carried out of the prevalence of executors who are considered problematic.
Answer
The Scottish Government has carried out no analysis of the prevalence of executors who are considered problematic. It is not clear where such information may be held or how it may be gathered. The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service may have figures for the number of applications heard in courts, but not all instances of problematic executors will reach this stage.
