A Grant of Probate is a legally binding document that allows your Executors to gain access to all of your assets, settle any outstanding debts and then distribute the remainder to beneficiaries.

Obtaining the Grant of Probate can be a complicated and time-consuming task requiring forms and correspondence to be completed. This tends to be the last thing an individual wants when they have just lost a loved one.

It is a legal requirement of the Executors to ensure this process is carried out correctly and that any Inheritance Tax is calculated and paid on time. If this is not dealt with correctly, the Executor(s) may find themselves personally liable for the deceased’s debts and any losses involved.
