Probate

Picture


In order to quickly establish whether probate is required in your  situation you
can call us and talk directly to one of our administrators  who can advise you,
without charge, how to proceed.

What is Probate

If there is a Will

It is necessary to obtain a legal document (called a  Grant of Probate) that allows an executor to distribute assets as  detailed in a person’s Will.


If there is no Will

It is necessary to obtain a legal document (called  Letters of Administration) that allows the next of kin to distribute  assets in accordance with the Laws of Intestacy.

We speak to many people who are very confused about probate. Dealing with legal and financial paperwork during such an  emotional time can be very daunting.  Even in the simplest estates there  is a surprisingly large amount of
correspondence with various  institutions such as the Inland Revenue, the Department for Work and  Pensions and The Principal Probate Registry Office to name just a few.

The best advice anyone can be given is to do nothing  until the situation has been fully assessed; one or two days delay will  make little difference in the general scheme of things. If you are  acting as an Executor in a Will then you are personally liable for any  debts, so professional advice is essential.

How can we help

We can help you assess the situation at your  convenience and at no initial cost to you or the estate. In essence,  Abacus dovetails the legal and financial aspects of probate in an  ethical, professional and sensitive way. We offer a friendly service with good, down to earth advice that you will understand.

So don't delay; don’t let the Chancellor become a beneficiary of your estate.
