Probate

Probate is the legal procedure to decide whether a deceased person has left a valid Will.

An Executor is a person appointed in the Will to administer the Estate and to carry out the deceased’s wishes.

If you are an Executor then you are responsible for:

Collecting in the assets
Distributing the estate in accordance with the terms of the Will
Settling any liabilities
Proving the Will by obtaining a Grant of Probate from the High Court

The thought of carrying out these tasks may seem daunting. However, our Wills and probate team are on hand to ensure the whole process is completed promptly and smoothly.
