Probate

What Do I Do When Someone Dies?

The loss of a friend or loved one can be a very stressful time with many people needing to be notified in the first few days.

In addition to the immediate tasks you need to attend to, such as arranging the funeral, there is a lot of paperwork to be dealt with and official documents which need to be completed over the next few weeks.

Let Us help

One of the duties you may have to undertake is applying for Probate. This can often be a complex and extremely time consuming process and needs attending to at a time when you may not feel able to perform this task.
Wills, Estate and Probate Services are experts in dealing with all aspects of Probate.

Our specialist Probate Team have a sympathetic and patient approach when dealing with bereaved relatives and will happily arrange a visit to discuss your requirements in the comfort of your own home.

Unlike Solicitors and many other Legal companies who charge an hourly rate, Wills, Estate and Probate Services provide a Fixed Fee Probate Service which is quoted in advance of any work being undertaken.

This means a considerable saving on the fees you would typically need to pay a high street Solicitor.

As part of our Probate Service our team can also offer you independent advice on the Will itself and may, under certain circumstances, recommend that a Deed of Variation be set up in order to vary the Will. This process would effectively ensure that the beneficiaries of the Will receive as much of their inheritance as possible, without having to pay out large chunks of it to the Inland Revenue in taxes.

This process must be executed within two years of death and needs to be with the agreement of all the beneficiaries.

When Someone Dies

If there is no will, a close relative of the deceased can apply to the probate registry to deal with the estate. In this case they apply for a 'grant of letters of administration'. If the grant is given, they are known as 'administrators' of the estate. Like the grant of probate, the grant of letters of administration is a legal document which confirms the administrator's authority to deal with the deceased person's assets.

If someone dies without making a will, they are said to have died 'intestate'. If this happens, the law sets out who should deal with the deceased's affairs and who should inherit their estate (property, personal possessions and money). This information covers England and Wales only.

When someone dies without leaving a will, dealing with their estate can be complicated. It can also take a long time - months or even years in some very complex cases.
