What is Grant of Probate?
Probate grant is an important legal paper that allows someone to handle and share a dead person’s belongings. This process follows the instructions in the deceased person’s will. If there is no will, it follows the legal rules that are already in place. Obtaining this grant is a fundamental step in the journey of settling the affairs of someone who has passed away.
This paper is important because it officially recognises and validates the executor’s job and the authenticity of the will. The executor has the authority to make decisions regarding the deceased person’s belongings. They also ensure that the person’s wishes are respected, and their legacy is treated properly.
Probate involves checking the will, valuing the estate, and looking at any debts or money owed. The executor can only distribute assets after evaluating and addressing these aspects. This document is important for managing estates.
