Here to help you through probate

Support for executors sorting out a loved one's affairs.

Understanding probate

If you're named as an executor of someone's Will, you'll need a grant of probate that gives you the right to sort out their affairs.

Proof of probate is often required when dealing with banks, local authorities, tax and pensions, insurance and, if selling a property, estate agents.

Probate can be a lengthy process depending on the size, value and complexity of the estate, and is much easier if a Will has been made. Without a Will, sorting out a loved one's affairs can be more complicated, time consuming and costly.

What is probate and why is it required?

Before the assets of the deceased can be distributed to beneficiaries, the Executor must apply to the High Court for a 'Grant of Probate'. This is a legal document the Executor needs in order to deal with assets such as bank accounts, investments and property. We can ensure the final figures are correct and filed in good time, allowing you to focus on yourself and those around you.
