Beaulieu Wills and Estate Planning are partnered with Laurelo Ltd who are committed to a personal service making the probate process as straightforward as possible.

What is Probate & why do I need it?

Probate occurs after someone has passed away and is the process of proving that the deceased person’s Will is valid. It is then giving the deceased’s Personal Representatives the right to deal with their assets and estate.

How does Probate work?

Probate works slightly differently depending on whether the deceased person has left a Will or not. The process is different, but the end result is the same – the executors (where there is a Will) or administrators (where there is no Will) are given the authority to deal with the estate.

Probate of a Will

If the deceased person left a Will, they will have named one or more people in the Will to act as their executors. The executors will need to apply to the Probate Registry for a Grant of Probate (unless the estate does not require a grant to be administered). The Grant of Probate is a legal document which will enable the executors to deal with the assets and estate. This can then be used to demonstrate that they have authority to collect the deceased person’s property, money and possessions and distribute them as laid out in the Will.

Probate where there is no Will

If the deceased person did not leave a Will or for some reason it is invalid, the law of Intestacy sets out how the Probate process works and who is entitled to administer the deceased person’s estate. The individuals entitled to administer the deceased person’s estate where there is no Will are called Administrators. The Administrators can apply to the probate Registry for a Grant of Representation (usually a Grant of Letter of Administration). This, like a Grant of Probate, is a legal document which will enable the administrators to deal with the deceased person’s assets and distribute them to the people entitled to them under law.
