What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person, including distributing their assets and settling their debts. This process typically involves obtaining a grant of probate from the court, which grants authority to the executor named in the deceased’s will to carry out their wishes and manage their affairs.

3. Executor Duties: We advise executors on their legal duties and responsibilities, including managing assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing inheritance to beneficiaries in accordance with the deceased’s wishes.
