Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate, including validating their will and distributing assets.
Not always. If the estate is small or assets are jointly owned, probate may not be necessary.
The length of the process varies but typically takes 6–12 months, depending on the complexity of the estate.
If there is a will, the executor(s) named in the document apply for probate. If there is no will, a close relative must apply for letters of administration.
Costs depend on the size and complexity of the estate. Contact us for a transparent breakdown of our probate fees.
While it’s possible, probate can be time consuming and complex. Many choose to use a solicitor to ensure the process is handled correctly.
