Probate
Probate
Losing a loved one is never easy, and dealing with their estate can feel overwhelming during such a difficult time. Probate is the legal process of managing someone’s affairs after they’ve passed away. If the person left a Will, the Executors named in it will need to apply for a Grant of Probate. If there is no Will, the responsibility falls to the closest next of kin, who must apply for Letters of Administration.
We understand that this process can be confusing and emotionally challenging, which is why we’re here to help. If you’re unsure who the next of kin is, we can assist by building a family tree to identify the right person. Our caring and experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way, offering support with sensitivity and professionalism.
About Probate:
Why it's important
If estate administration isn’t carried out by a professional, it can cause problems later. Examples of this are, inheritance tax relief not being available when a surviving spouse dies, and Trusts being incorrectly implemented.
What we offer
We offer great value, fixed-cost estate administration services. Unlike many solicitors, the cost is based on the complexity of your estate and not a percentage of the estate value.’
Is it Necessary?
Probate is not always necessary when a person dies, it really depends on the assets that they leave behind. If a person owns a property in their sole name, then probate will be required. If not, it depends on how much money they have in the bank, overseas or may have given away.
