Frequently Asked Questions
What is a grant of probate?
A court document confirming the executor's authority to deal with the estate.
How long does it take?
Commonly nine to twelve months for a straightforward estate.
Can I be an executor if I live abroad?
Yes, although it can be more practical to have a solicitor handle day-to-day matters.
What if there is no will?
The next of kin applies for letters of administration and the estate passes under the rules of intestacy.
Is probate always needed?
Not always. It depends on the assets and how they were held, for example jointly owned property.
