The process of probate takes place after someone dies. If there is a will, the executor named in it is responsible for ensuring that the estate of the deceased is secure, assessing its value and paying any inheritance tax.
To obtain authorisation for the grant of probate, certain tasks will have to be carried out by the executor including obtaining the death certificate, valuing the person’s estate, and calculating liability for inheritance tax.
If you have been named as an executor or someone close to you has died without leaving a will, our probate team can act on your behalf and apply for a grant of probate or letters of administration.
The executor has responsibility for estate administration, including gathering and valuing all the assets, paying any outstanding debts, and then distributing what is left according to the will.
Our probate lawyers can act on your behalf in administering the estate.
For making the application for grant of probate or letters of administration we will usually charge a fixed fee.
For estate administration we will make a free initial assessment of the amount of work to be done and then provide a no obligation quote.
