Probate

Navigating the probate process

Probate is the process of enabling an individual’s estate to be dealt with in accordance with their will after they have died. If there is a valid will, the executor of the will must apply for probate before any assets can be distributed to the beneficiaries named in the will.

The executor may appoint a probate solicitor to apply for a Grant of Probate on their behalf. Appointing a probate solicitor or another specialist probate lawyer to apply for probate can help you to get a Grant of Probate sooner and avoid many of the potential risks of ‘diy’ probate.
