Frequently Asked Questions

Probate FAQ

What is probate?
Probate is the legal right to administer a person’s estate after they have died. In England and Wales, probate is granted by the Probate Registry. A grant of probate makes you responsible for any assets belonging to the deceased person’s estate, as well as any outstanding debts they left unpaid.

Who can apply for probate?
If the deceased left a valid will, the executor(s) named in the will can apply for probate. If there is no will, the closest living relative can apply for probate.

Can I apply for probate without a solicitor?
Yes you can – in fact, there is no requirement for the executor of a will to engage the services of a solicitor or other legal practitioner at any point during the administration period. However, many people choose to hire a solicitor to handle this legal process for them, since this frees them up to deal with other matters such as funeral plans. Professional legal assistance can be especially helpful if the deceased left a large estate with many assets, and/or if the will is likely to be contested.
