Probate and Trusts
Probate is the process of managing the affairs of an individual once they have passed away. Anyone named as an executor in the Will will need to apply for a Grant of Probate in order to gain permission to administer their estate.
Similarly, in the event that there is no Will, you will likely need to apply for Letters of Administration. After that, you will become in charge of getting the estate valued, paying any due inheritance Tax, and distributing the estate in accordance with the Will’s wishes.
Our probate and trusts solicitors in Battle can help you with every stage of the process, from completing the necessary forms to calculating inheritance tax and distributing the assets.
