What’s Probate and Why Do I Need a Probate Lawyer?

Probate is the name given to the official process of proving the Will of someone who has passed away. By obtaining probate, it allows the executors to deal with and distribute the estate to the correct beneficiaries. A probate solicitor will help you when it comes to obtaining probate and all the legal necessities that come with it, including executors’ responsibilities. When dealing with this complicated matter at such as stressful time, it is easy to make mistake; that’s why it is vital to get the help of a trusted professional.

How Can Our Probate Solicitors Help?

Our dedicated team will help and support you every step of the way from the first instance of being granted probate to giving you probate advice on the responsibilities of the executor and any subsequent problems that may arise thereafter. If someone dies without a will then they are known to have died intestate. When this happens the process is similar to probate but is known as obtaining a Grant of Letters of Administration. With this, there are strict rules to follow as to how the estate should be distributed. It is essential that you stick to these and get the process right; that’s where Gorvins team of probate solicitors in Manchester can provide all the support and probate advice you require.
