Start NowIf someone dies and you have been appointed as executor in their will or in the absence of a will, you are charged with dealing with their estate management; then you may need to apply for a grant of probate or letters of administration.
In a nutshell, a Grant of Probate is issued to the named executors of any valid will. Whereas letters of administration are given to the person entitled to inherit under the rules of intestacy if the deceased died without a will.
Additionally, in the case of a valid will but no executor, a grant of letters of administration with will annexed will be issued.
The grant gives the executor the authority to handle all of the deceased's assets. This typically includes savings, investments, and properties.
Our solicitors are experienced in wills and probate, and they will be able to provide you with the advice and support you need if you find yourself in this challenging situation.
It is important to note that you will need to apply for a grant if:
The deceased had £10,000 or more.
They had market shares.
They owned land in their name.
They had particular insurance policies in place.
