If a valid Will is in place, the executors will apply for a grant of probate. This allows them to distribute the assets according to the wishes of the deceased.
Where there is no valid Will (the person has died ‘intestate’) a Grant of Administration must be applied for by the next of kin.
Our probate experts will be able to provide you with advice and guide you through either process.
