Suffering a bereavement is stressful, but it is even more difficult when you have reason to question the Will left by the deceased (or whether they even left one at all). In some cases, it might be necessary to start Court proceedings to determine whether there was a Will, or whether the Will is actually valid.

What is Probate?
Probate is the legal process whereby the estate of a person who has died is dealt with.
If the person has made a Will this usually appoints people to be executors to administer the estate.
If there is no Will then next of kin will be appointed by the court as administrators instead.
We refer to executors and administrators as personal representatives (‘PR’s) in this guidance.

Our services include drafting applications for grants of representation so that if necessary you can manage assets before probate is completed, and coordination of different tax regimes to avoid ‘double tax’ on your inheritance.
