Probate is the process of administering a deceased person’s estate. This involves organising their money, assets and possessions and distributing them as inheritance – after paying any taxes and debts. If the deceased has left a Will, it will name someone that they’ve chosen to administer their estate.
If the person who died left a valid will, this will name one or more executors, and it is their responsibility to apply for probate. If there isn’t a will, then inheritance rules called the rules of intestacy will determine whose responsibility it is to get probate.
In England, The probate threshold can be anywhere between £5,000 and £50,000. This is because every bank and financial organisation has their own rules on how much money they can release before seeing a grant of probate.
Every case is different, and the exact amount of time will depend on the size and complexity of the estate. In general, the whole probate process can take anywhere between six to twelve months.
Probating a will is the only legal way to transfer the assets of someone who has died. Without probate, titled assets like homes and cars remain in the deceased’s name indefinitely. You won’t be able to sell them or keep registrations current because you won’t have access to the individual’s
signature and consent.
Probate is the legal process that takes place after someone’s death to allow their assets to be transferred to other persons (beneficiaries). A legal document from the Court is needed to be able to access their assets. Where the deceased left a Will, that document is called a Grant of Probate.
