Frequently Asked Questions
These FAQs are for general information only and are not legal or tax advice. Probate rules can vary depending on your circumstances in England & Wales.
What is probate?
Probate is the legal process of dealing with someone’s estate after they die. It usually involves valuing assets, settling any tax and debts, and distributing what remains under the Will (or the rules of intestacy if there is no Will). (GOV.UK)
Do I need probate?
Not always. You may need a Grant of Probate if the person:
owned property in their sole name, or
had assets (bank accounts, investments, shares) that institutions won’t release without a Grant.
You may not need a Grant where most assets were held jointly and pass automatically to the surviving owner (this depends on the type of joint ownership and the asset-provider’s rules). (The Gazette)
What are the duties of an executor?
Executors (or administrators, if there is no Will) are responsible for:
identifying and valuing assets and liabilities
reporting and paying any tax due
applying for the Grant of Probate where required
collecting assets, paying debts and bills
preparing estate accounts
distributing the estate correctly to beneficiaries (Citizens Advice)
Who can act for the estate?
If there is a Will, the executor(s) named in it can usually apply for probate. (GOV.UK)
If there is no Will, an administrator can apply (usually a close relative, following the legal order of priority). (Citizens Advice)
How long does probate take?
Getting the Grant: Usually receive probate within 12 weeks of submitting the application (longer if more information is needed). (GOV.UK)
Finishing the estate: This can take months and sometimes longer, especially where there’s a property sale, complex assets, tax, or delays from third parties.
Do I need a solicitor (or probate specialist?)
No, many people apply themselves. However, professional support can be helpful if the estate is complex, time-sensitive, or there’s a risk of dispute.
If I need to sell a property, do I need probate first?
You can usually market the property and accept an offer before probate is granted, but buyers typically can’t complete until the Grant is issued.
What is the probate process?
In simple terms:
Identify assets, debts, and key documents (Will, death certificate, etc.)
Value the estate
Complete inheritance tax reporting/payment where required
Apply for the Grant
Collect assets, pay debts and bills
Prepare estate accounts
Distribute to beneficiaries (GOV.UK)
How much does probate cost?
