When someone who has already made a valid Will dies, that person's executors will usually need to apply for a Grant of Probate. If someone dies without having made a Will, their relatives or next of kin will need to apply for a Grant of Letters of Administration.
The Grant of Probate/Grant of Letters of Administration confirms the power and ability of the executor/administrator to deal with the deceased's estate.; It will allow the executor/ administrator to manage and collect the deceased's assets, pay their debts and distribute the estate in accordance with the terms of the Will or in accordance with the intestacy rules.
Bereavement is stressful at the best of times and obtaining and then dealing with a Grant of Representation can be a lengthy and complicated process. Our team of experienced private client solicitors specialise in all forms of Wills, Probate and Estate Administration law. Whether you need us only to obtain a Grant of Representation on your behalf or deal with the entire process of estate administration from start to finish we will do what we can to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible
