Probate Services

Probate is the process of dealing with the estate of someone who has passed
away, which generally means settling their debts and distributing
their assets in accordance with their will.

​

Probate explained

 

The technical term, 'probate' refers to getting authorisation/permission to carry out the wishes within someone's will, though the term also applies to the whole process of settling someone's estate. 

​

If you are taking the responsibility for executing someone's will, there are specific rules that you must following terms of how you must notify the relevant authorities and distribute the estate.

​

To gain permission to manage this whole process you will need to apply for grant of probate.

​

If someone passes away without a will, otherwise known as dying intestate there are separate rules.
