Probate Service
What is probate?
Probate is the term commonly used
to describe the legal process for applying for the right to
deal with a deceased person's affairs. It can also be referred to
as administering the estate.
Are you responsible for organising the settlement of a
deceased relative or friend's estate?
Probate can be complicated because
those dealing with the estate need to liaise with the Probate
Registry and the Inland Revenue before any assets are sold,
accounts are closed and the beneficiaries are paid.
If this process isn't handled correctly any property or
possessions held in the sole name of the deceased may
not be released to you or other beneficiaries.
