𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹? When somebody passes away, executors appointed in a Will need to get legal authority to deal with assets in an estate and distribute the assets to beneficiaries. They also require the Will to be validated. An application is made to the probate registry who issue a ‘grant of probate’ for these purposes. Here's a breakdown of what it entails: 1. 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹: The probate process begins by confirming that the will is legally valid. This involves submitting the will to the probate registry, where it is reviewed and approved. 2. 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲: Once the probate registry is satisfied that the will is valid, it issues a "Grant of Probate" (in England and Wales). This document gives the executor the legal authority to act on behalf of the estate. 3. 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗿'𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: The executor, who is named in the will, is responsible for managing and distributing the deceased’s estate according to the Will. This includes 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀, 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘁𝘀, 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗮𝘅𝗲𝘀 and 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀: 4. 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: The executor must ensure that all legal matters are handled properly, including notifying relevant institutions, paying inheritance tax, managing estate accounts, and potentially dealing with disputes or claims against the estate. 5. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Once all duties are fulfilled, the executor finalises the probate process by providing a detailed account of the estate's administration to the beneficiaries and then distributing the estate. Probate can be a complex process, particularly for larger or contested estates, and may involve legal and financial professionals to ensure everything is managed according to the law and the wishes of the deceased.
