Losing a loved one is undoubtedly a challenging time in itself.

What is probate?

The term ‘probate’ comes from a Grant of Probate, the legal document which must be obtained by the executor in order to gain access to the affairs of the deceased. However, this is only the beginning. If you have been named the executor in a Will of someone who has since passed away, you will be responsible for ensuring every loose end is tied up and the estate is distributed in accordance with the requests of the Will. While it is possible to undertake this process yourself, tackling these issues alone can be complicated and time-consuming, especially when there are a large number of beneficiaries or the estate has a particularly high net worth. Seeking the assistance of an experienced solicitor is highly recommended in ensuring that each matter is handled with efficiency and accuracy.
