With more than 12 years of experience in legal services and dispute resolution, our team is committed to guiding you through every phase of the probate process in a clear and stress‐free manner.
Probate services cover the legal procedures needed to administer a deceased person’s estate, including the management of their property, finances, and personal belongings. This essential process ensures that assets are distributed according to the wishes expressed in the will, or in accordance with the laws of intestacy if no will is present. For further assistance with estate planning, you might consider our will writing service.
Probate refers to the legal authority granted to manage a deceased person’s estate. This process involves validating the will (if one exists), identifying the estate’s assets and liabilities, and ultimately distributing the assets to the beneficiaries. By ensuring that every action is taken in accordance with both the law and the deceased’s intentions, probate provides a structured approach to estate administration.
Deciding whether probate is necessary can be complex. Often, it requires liaising with financial institutions to establish if formal probate processes are needed. In certain cases, smaller estates or assets held jointly may not require probate. For guidance on managing financial matters related to estate administration, our experts in financial remedies can offer valuable advice.
The application process for probate involves several critical stages, including valuing the estate, assessing any Inheritance Tax liabilities, and completing the required documentation. Executors named in the will, or the closest living relative in the absence of a will, can petition for probate. This process ensures that the estate is administered properly and efficiently.
At RakLAW, we take great pride in our practical and transparent approach to probate services. We manage the entire process internally, ensuring clear communication so that you are never faced with unexpected costs or hidden fees. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate and expert advice during this challenging period.
