Probate

When a family member or loved one dies, we know it is a difficult time. The legal and tax requirements are the last things that you want to deal with. Our friendly and approachable team can help you.

Probate is the name given to the process of proving the Will. This allows the executors to deal with the estate and it can be a difficult and time-consuming process. We support many executors through the process of obtaining probate and distributing the estate,  and can advise you on executors’ responsiblities and the problems that may arise.

If someone dies without a Will they have died Intestate. Here the process is similar, but is known as obtaining a Grant of Letters of Administration. In this case, there are strict rules to follow as to how the Estate should be distributed. It is essential to get this right.

Whether you are an executor of a Will, or trying to administer the estate of someone who dies without a Will, at Gorvins our specialist and empathetic team will make sure the whole process is handled as quickly and efficiently as possible, and will aim to lessen any additional stress at this difficult time.
