Probate is, essentially, the rights to deal with someone’s estate when they die and to comply with their wishes laid out in their Will.
Probate solicitors in North Wales can help and guide on the roles and legalities of this role and to ensure that the wishes of the deceased are carried out appropriately.
Sometimes, a grant of probate must be obtained first before any of the wishes of the person who died can be carried out. Normally, there is a threshold applied as to when a grant of probate is required, and this is generally based on how much the assets are worth. There is no set limit for this amount, and often, a bank will set its own rules.
Although probate can be a complex process, it is a necessary one to prevent any abuse or illegal distribution of the deceased’s assets. Probate also ensures that those who are named in a Will as beneficiaries receive what they are legally entitled to.
Solicitors in Conwy can offer support through the probate process. When there is a valid Will in place, for example, they can help to apply for the grant of probate and, if there is not a Will, they will support to complete the Letters of Administration procedures. Probate allows property to be sold and for monies to be distributed without any conflict or disputes.
