Executors should take care to check final settlements

MY father died some months ago and I have been dealing with his estate.

Part of these duties entails closure of accounts with utilities and banks. It has not been straightforward.

I am pernickety in checking detail and picked up on errors with both his bank and energy supplier. In both instances, the errors were in the company's favour. In the mail I have received two corrections, a cheque and an amended bill.
