“Kearney, I wish to place on record my sincere thanks to you and Austin Blackburn for your professional help, and for keeping me well informed as to the progress. At the time of [the deceased’s] death it would have been very difficult for me to have undertaken a fuller role as executor. I have previously undertaken the role of executor, and have a pretty good idea of much of what is involved. Throughout the whole process, I have been most impressed with the work you and Austin have carried out.”
