Everything You Need to Know About Probate and Estate Administration If you are looking for a solicitor to help you with probate or estate administration, it is important to first understand what these terms mean. Probate is the legal process of distributing a person's assets after they die. This includes inventorying the deceased's property, paying off any debts, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries. Estate administration, on the other hand, is the process of managing a deceased person's estate until it is distributed to the beneficiaries. Whether you need help with probate or estate administration (or both), it is important to choose a solicitor who is experienced in this area of law. In this blog post, we will provide an overview of what solicitors do with probate and estate administration, as well as some tips on how to choose a solicitor for your needs. What Do Solicitors Do With Probate and Estate Administration? As we mentioned above, probate is the legal process of distributing a person's assets after they die. This includes inventorying the deceased's property, paying off any debts, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries. Estate administration, on the other hand, is the process of managing a deceased person's estate until it is distributed to the beneficiaries. Solicitors can help with both probate and estate administration. In terms of probate, solicitors can help you with tasks such as drafting wills, administering trusts, and dealing with tax matters. They can also help you if you need to contest a will or if there are disagreements among beneficiaries about how the estate should be divided. In terms of estate administration, solicitors can help you with tasks such as obtaining a grant of probate (if required), collecting in assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the estate according to the terms of the will (or intestacy laws if there is no will). They can also give you advice on how to deal with contentious issues that may arise during estate administration. Choosing a Solicitor for Probate or Estate Administration If you need help with probate or estate administration, it is important that you choose a solicitor who has experience in this area of law. Here are some tips for choosing a solicitor: - Get recommendations from family and friends who have used a solicitor for probate or estate administration before. - Check that the solicitor you are considering is regulated by searching for their name on Solicitors Regulation Authority. - Ask for quotes from multiple solicitors so that you can compare pricing. - Make sure that you understand all fees involved before hiring a solicitor. - Choose a solicitor who makes you feel comfortable and who you feel confident working with.
