Probate

Probate is the legal progress of dealing with your estate after you pass away. Until the Executors obtain a grant of Probate, they cannot distribute the estate to the beneficiaries according to the Will. It can be a long and stressful process for your loved ones, taking six months to a year to complete. We can help prevent these problems with our Probate Plans.

enefits of a Probate Plan

Probate could be required for assets as little as £5,000. It can be time-consuming and costly — between 1.5 to 3% of the value of your estate goes to your Solicitor. By planning and paying for your Probate now, you will:

  • Avoid future price increases
  • Reduce worry for your family
  • Pay less

Paying a fixed fee at today’s prices makes things easier in the future. There won’t be anything to pay when the time comes, minimising the stress on your family and friends at an emotional time.

Your financial savings vary depending on the current value of your estate. You can choose from a range of payment options for ease and flexibility.

We will guide you through the process and make sure your Will is executed quickly and accurately when the time comes. We will complete all the paperwork for the winding up of your estate. It’s an easy way to protect loved ones from unnecessary burdens.
