When a person dies, their estate has to be dealt with. Probate makes sure that everything passes on in line with their wishes, and that the right amount of tax is paid.
Probate is undertaken by the executors of the will (or the administrators of the estate where no will exists). But for grieving families, this can be a burden too much at an already stressful time.
Probate often involves exhaustive enquiries into debts, assets, pensions, tax liabilities and more. So it’s no wonder that, a lack of knowledge of the probate process can lead to problems and mistakes. Worse, if you are an executor and you make an error or fail to administer the estate in an efficient and timely manner, you could be held personally liable.
