Will & Probate
Find a solicitor that can assist with wills, probate and estate planning in your area.
The information on this page is to help you understand probate, establish whether you need to obtain probate and explain your choices on how to go about obtaining probate.
The quickest and easiest way to find out whether you need probate and what is involved is to use our free service to contact a Probate Solicitor.
Probate is a formal legal process, which is usually required where the deceased has left assets over £5000. Probate is required before any assets can be accessed and distributed. It is not normally possible to access the deceased's bank accounts (except to pay funeral bills and inheritance tax), savings/investments or sell property without a 'Grant of Probate'.
Obtaining probate is normally the responsibility of the Executor(s) of the Will, or the deceased's next of kin, if there is no Will. The person who applies for probate is then legally required to ensure that the deceased's estate is dealt with correctly.
As an alternative, the Executor can relieve himself/herself from the responsibility and choose a Wills and Probate Service to deal with the process on their behalf.
