What is probate?
Probate gives you the legal right to handle a person’s estate.
If you’ve been named the executor of someone’s Will, you’re responsible for administering their estate. That means organising their assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing what’s left according to the instructions left in the Will.
Before you can do this, you need to apply for a Grant of Probate.
We can help with and advise on any of these duties including:
- Applying for a Grant of Probate
- Investigating and valuing the estate
- Collecting estate funds
- Filling out income and inheritance tax returns and paying any tax due
- Paying creditors
- Selling or transferring ownership of property
- Distributing funds and assets according to the Will
- Managing any Trusts in the Will.
Our Probate lawyers can assist with as much or as little of the process as you like. We can simply get a Grant of Probate for you, or you can pass all your executor duties on to us.
We can also advise on estate administration if someone close to you has died without a Will.
