Kenny Craig named trustee in sequestration of the estate of the late Alex Salmond

Kenny Craig of Begbies Traynor has been appointed as trustee in Sequestration of the estate of the late Alex Salmond following an application to the Accountant in Bankruptcy made by Moira Salmond, in her capacity as executrix.

The winding up of the former First Minister’s estate will include the trustee considering the value of all assets, including rights of action against the Scottish Government. At the time of Mr Salmond’s death he had raised proceedings seeking damages against the Scottish Government and those proceedings are ongoing.

Thomas McKay, managing partner for Begbies Traynor in Scotland, said: “This is an unusual and complex appointment, particularly because it involves ongoing legal proceedings by a high-profile individual against the Scottish Government.

“Kenny Craig, supported by our personal insolvency team at Begbies Traynor Group, will of course do all that he can to manage the sequestration as respectfully and sensitively as possible.”
