While much of the world’s operations have shifted to online services, one arduous process has remained largely unchanged: the daunting task of sifting through the assets left behind by a loved one, trying to find vital documentation and information in the wake of their passing. This is already an immensely difficult time, and a lack of organisation adds further unnecessary complexities. Enter Executor Services Limited, Trading as My Executor Box, an award-winning company with a forward-thinking platform that provides executors with the knowledge necessary to process estates and assets with efficiency and ease. After 2 years of a direct to consumer offering it now offers it’s platform fully branded for solicitors and their clients. We took a closer look at this standout solution below, following its recent recognition in the Scottish Enterprise Awards 2025. Best LegalTech Start-Up 2025 Executor Services, trading as My Executor Box, is a leading Glasgow-based company on a mission to solve the ongoing challenge that countless bereaved families are left to handle. In 2022, the UK government released figures stating that the Dormant Banks and Building Society Act had seized £1.6 billion from dormant bank and building society accounts since 2008. Building on to the success of this scheme, the government extended the range of assets that could be seized under The Dormant Assets Scheme legislation to include pensions, property, shares, investments and insurance funds. If nothing else proves there are substantial assets lost on death this scheme clearly identifies lost assets not to mention the billions of pounds collected as orphan client’s funds held by insurance companies. Alan Wardrop founded Executor Services in 2023 as a result of his experience when creating financial services businesses within solicitor firms during his 40 year career in financial services. With the company’s establishment, he aims to modernise estate planning in the UK and beyond to ensure that lifesavings are not being lost through poor administration caused by a modern world moving to a paperless society. This solution took the form of My Executor Box, a secure online estate planning platform designed to make the planning process quicker, easier, and more efficient for solicitors, professional advisors, and their clients. With a simple, safe, and easy-to-use platform, My Executor Box allows clients to manage and store a variety of important information in a secure place. Upon opening their account, users can record assets, manage executors, record liabilities, upload documents, calculate their net worth, and leave messages and stories behind for their loved ones to watch after their death. From there, clients can invite up to five executors and / or family members and friends to hold immediate access or access only after death, ensuring that beneficiaries receive their inheritance with optimal speed and precision while respecting an individual’s privacy if desired. It can also be adapted for use by Powers of Attorney which is being developed currently. Through regular security monitoring, updates, and assessments, My Executor Box mitigates potential risks and maintains a bank level secure environment for its users. The platform utilises robust technologies and best practices, including Google Cloud to provide a secure execution environment for its backend operations; Firebase, for its granular access control and extensive security measures and two factor authorisation for login. What’s more, HTTPS encryption is used to secure communication, and the company leverages RESTful architecture to ensure secure data exchanges. A passion for exceptional service lies at the heart of My Executor Box and has shaped the company’s unrivalled commitment to clientcentricity since its inception. The company aims to continue expanding and enhancing its services in alignment with growing client demand, striving to establish itself as the go-to company for estate planning in the UK and beyond. It now offers white labelled fully branded executor box platforms for solicitor firms and their clients giving regular touch points for solicitors to engage with their clients. This commitment has earned Executor Services, and My Executor Box, recognition as Best LegalTech Start-Up 2025 – an accolade underpinned by a number of glowing testimonials that can be found on the company’s website. One client wrote: “My husband has recently suffered serious ill health and at one point, we thought we were going to lose him. Thankfully, he is now on the road to recovery. Kenny has always been the financial person in our relationship, and I wouldn’t know where to begin if things had gone wrong. At the very least, My Executor Box gives me the assurance I would know where our money is.” James Craig of Glasgow solicitors firm Archibald Sharp wrote: “My Executor Box is an innovation that is overdue in our modern online world. It will really help clients, executors, and solicitors deliver a quicker, more efficient executry service when required.” Already an award winning company as Security Platform of the Year 2025 by Corporate Livewires Innovation and Excellence Awards and an approved product provider by Law Society of Scotland, this Scottish Enterprise Best LegalTech start up demonstrates this company is one to watch for the future.
