What is probate, and when is it needed?
Probate is the legal process that gives someone authority to handle the estate of a person who has passed away. It involves identifying and valuing assets such as property, savings, and investments, paying any outstanding debts and taxes, and distributing the remainder to beneficiaries in line with the will or the rules of intestacy if no will exists.
When there’s a valid will, the named executor applies for a Grant of Probate. This document gives them the legal right to manage the estate. If no will was left, a close family member can apply for Letters of Administration, which serve the same purpose.
The probate process can include several detailed tasks such as dealing with property sales, submitting inheritance tax returns, managing bank accounts and shares, and preparing estate accounts. Some estates are straightforward, but others are more complex, especially when multiple properties, business interests, or foreign assets are involved. Our Sale probate solicitors can guide you through each stage, helping you understand what’s required and ensuring the process runs as smoothly as possible.
