Probate
Probate and estate administration services solicitors
Estate administration, also known as probate, involves identifying and managing the assets and liabilities of an estate, then executing the Will based on the deceased’s wishes. If there is no Will, the estate is distributed according to intestacy rules.
Before distributing an estate, the named executors in the Will may need to apply for a grant of probate. If the deceased left no Will, the next of kin might have to apply for letters of administration.
