If someone dies, leaving a will, it will usually name one or more people to administer their estate who are also known as executors. If you are named as an executor of a will you may need to apply for a Grant of Probate.
A Grant of Probate is an official document which the executors may need to administer the estate. It is issued by a section of the court known as the Probate Registry.
At Browell Smith & Co Solicitors, our experts can help you through this complicated process making it less stressful. We will ensure that the wishes of the deceased are carried out and often, we can help you finalise matters more quickly than you can on your own.
