INTRODUCTION

When somebody dies it is important to make sure that the Estate is administered efficiently and sympathetically.

If the deceased has made a Will that obviously will give instructions as to how the deceased would like the Estate to be distributed. If there is no Will then the Estate will be distributed in accordance with the Law (known as the Intestacy Rules).

It is necessary to gather together details and information about the deceased’s assets and liabilities if the net value of the deceased’s estate is under £5,000 then it can often be collected in and distributed without the need to get Court approval.

If however, the value of the deceased’s assets is in excess of £5,000 then it is essential to get Court approval in the form of obtaining a Grant of Probate if there is a Will or a Grant of Letters of Administration if there is no Will.

The Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration is the legal authority given by the Courts to enable the Estate to be gathered in and distributed.

We can advise on all aspects of dealing with the deceased’s Estate. Some probate cases can be complicated and lengthy. However, we pride ourselves on providing a friendly and professional service.
