Probate and Intestacy
Probate
is when you need to deal with bequests in someone's Will. Intestacy means
that someone has died without leaving a Will and there are strict rules as
to who is allowed to inherit someone's assets.
The amount of our charges will depend on the amount of work completed and
the value of the estate that is dealt with. We are always willing to give
you an estimate of the likely fees.
As a general rule, when you instruct a Solicitor to deal with someone's
estate you should have a list of assets and liabilities. It is useful to
know if there is a Will or not and your relationship to the person who has
died.
Some times it is possible to deal with small estates without the need for a
formal Grant of Representation from the Probate Court, this is usually at
the discretion of the Bank or Building Society involved.
