Probate Clearance
Probate is a legal process allowing a court to give legal consent to the validity of a will and the appointment of the executor. Once this process has been completed, that person, as executor, can manage and deal with the deceased person's affairs according to the will. Some states do not need to go through the probate process due to the estate's value. A small estate will be deemed small if the value of the estate is below £5,000 after all liabilities and funeral expenses have been paid. In many estates, some assets are held jointly and are passed to the survivor by law. Property held as joint tenants is not part of the deceased joint owner's estate and is automatically passed to the other owner(s). Probate can sometimes be needed in cases where assets are held jointly, but certain assets are only in the name of the deceased. It is necessary to claim the asset's value back into the estate.

Probate is the process of dealing with the legal and financial matters of someone who has passed away. When someone passes away, all their possessions, money, and property make up their 'estate'. The person who is responsible for dealing with the probate process is called the executor. If the deceased person has left a will, the executors are those named in the will to carry out its instructions. If the deceased has not left a will, the next of kin can apply to a probate registry to deal with the estate. There are many things to be done when someone dies, and understanding probate and the legal requirements involved can be a daunting task at a time of emotional stress.
The executor is responsible for ensuring that everything in their will is carried out, the estate is correctly valued and distributed, and any money owed to benefactors is paid. It is a very responsible position, and the person appointed must understand the duties involved and the full impact of the legal requirements. In most cases, the required process is relatively straightforward, and that is where we can help. There are very good reasons why an executor might need help and how we can provide practical and professional advice where necessary.

The executor is the person or persons named to deal with the estate as the will dictates. The role is mainly administrative, but where there is a risk of disagreement, management of emotions and communication is a vital part of the role for both legal and family matters. The executor will know of their role from direct discussion with the deceased, and many have consulted the deceased about all their financial affairs. Legal professionals may have advised others of their role when preparing the will. Occasionally, the executors may be relatives or friends who have not been informed of their role within the will; this can sometimes lead to concerns that the responsibilities may be declined. No executor can be forced to act, but a commercial provider can be appointed if they refuse to do so.
The executors are responsible for reporting potential claims against the estate, both for and against the deceased’s estate, ensuring that the formal tax, its accounts and liabilities are settled, and paying any other taxes or final gifts that may have been required. There are also growing legislative requirements to protect other benefits, such as access to pension funds.
