Wills And Probate

Wills and Probate

What Is a Will?

A will (also called a testament) is a legal document that sets out your wishes for how your property, money, and possessions will be distributed after your death. It also allows you to name one or more executors – trusted individuals who will manage your estate until its final distribution.

Having a professionally drafted will ensures your loved ones are protected, your assets are passed on according to your wishes, and potential disputes are minimised.

What Is Probate?

Probate is the legal process of proving and validating a will in court, confirming it as the true last testament of the deceased. If there is no will, probate (or “letters of administration”) is used to settle the estate according to the rules of intestacy.

This process can involve:

· Identifying and valuing assets

· Paying debts, taxes, and expenses

· Distributing the remaining estate to beneficiaries

Our probate solicitors handle every step with professionalism and sensitivity, ensuring matters are resolved efficiently.
