What is probate ?
When someone dies a legal process has to be followed, in order to administer a Deceased Persons estate. That process is known as probate and will typically be undertaken by the named Executor in a Will or the next of kin (known as the administrator) if the person died Intestate.
Probate ends with the Probate Registry issuing what is known as a Grant of Probate.This a legal document which once issued enables the Executor to collect the Deceased persons assets.
For example, if the Deceased had cash assets over £15,000 then a Bank or building society will always require a Grant of Probate to release assets, similarly if the Deceased had a property then probate will be required to sell this.If you need probate - we can help call us now.
