Probate gives your executor the authority to share your estate according to the instructions you have provided in your will.
However, probate can often seem daunting, especially at such a sensitive time when your family will be grieving. If the executor is a family member, they may feel overwhelmed by the process; they may see it as complicated, or they may not have the time to deal with everything that is required.
This is where Brighton Wills can help: we can provide caring, sympathetic support for the executor; we can carry out many of the initial responsibilities on their behalf, and our company solicitors will manage the official procedures at a preferential rate.
Probate is required by law if your estate is worth more than £5000. If it is, your family will not be able to deal with your property or financial affairs until the probate process is completed. Probate can take up to 6-months even if you have a will in place, but it can take up to 2-years and cost many thousands of pounds more in legal fees if you do not. How can you help with the probate process? We can administer the probate forms and apply for a Grant of Probate on your behalf — we can also carry out the following tasks to help your executor:
Probate does not need to be as complicated as it seems, and the burden on your family can be reduced significantly if you provide the correct instruction in a will.
