Frequently asked questions
When is probate required?
Contact UsProbate is typically necessary in England and Wales when a person has passed away leaving behind assets, such as property, bank accounts, or investments that are not jointly owned or do not have a designated beneficiary. Specifically, if the estate includes assets over £5,000 or property that isn’t held in joint tenancy, probate is likely required to legally transfer the deceased's assets to the beneficiaries.
What are the duties of an Executor of a Will?
Contact UsAn executor's role is to carry out the wishes of the deceased as outlined in their will. This involves identifying and securing all of the deceased's assets, settling any outstanding debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining estate to the named beneficiaries. They are also responsible for obtaining probate when necessary.
What are the expenses involved in the probate process?
Contact UsThe cost of probate can vary widely. It generally includes a probate application fee, which is set by the government, and may also encompass additional legal fees if a solicitor is engaged. The current probate application fee in England is £273 for estates valued over £5,000. Solicitors' fees can either be a percentage of the estate or a flat fee.
What is the typical duration for completing probate?
Contact UsThe time frame for completing probate in England and Wales can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the estate. Simple estates can be settled in a few months, while more complex matters may take a year or more. Factors that can extend the process include the type of assets, the need to pay taxes, and whether there are any disputes.
Who holds the responsibility for initiating the probate process?
Contact UsThe responsibility for obtaining probate typically lies with the Executor named in the Will. If there is no Will, or the named executors are unable or unwilling to act, then the next of kin can apply for the role of Administrator, which is similar to an Executor.
Is there a financial threshold for estates to require probate?
Contact UsIn England and Wales, the requirement for probate is not solely based on the amount of money in the bank. Each financial institution has its own threshold, which can be anywhere from £5,000 to £50,000, it is the overall value of the estate and how assets are held, including any property that will determine the necessity for probate.
