Guiding You Through The Process
Losing a loved one can be a harrowing experience and one of the most stressful times in your life. If you have been chosen as the Executor of a Will (or if there is no will), you will have the task of probate and estate administration. There can be a great deal of work involved in sorting out the affairs of the deceased estate and all this comes at a time of great loss and grief.
We at The WillMaker Group want to help guide you through this process (probate a will) and reduce the burden felt by loved ones left behind.
I don’t know what to do?
Don’t worry, if the deceased left a Will, there will usually be one or more executors appointed to handle the affairs of the estate and therefore Probate with a Will can be carried out.
If there is no Will (intestacy), or if you are not sure if there is a Will, you should seek legal advice. The intestacy laws set out who is entitled to deal with the estate, and also the rules about how the estate is distributed. In either case, The Will Maker Group can guide and advise you on how to probate with a will or without.
We can send an information pack on how to Probate Wills, detailing the duties of executors and trustees.
Why do I have to go to all the trouble of applying for Probate or Letters of Administration?
You may have no choice in the matter. Most estates valued over £5,000 will have to go to probate and certain institutions such as banks, building societies, and insurance companies may not allow assets or property held in the sole name of the deceased to be transferred or sold without Probate.
If there is an interest in a house to deal with, Probate is usually required for this.
