About Probate
Probate is the term commonly used to describe the process of winding up a person’s affairs after he or she has died. Once granted, the Executors must pay any taxes due, close all bank accounts and sell any property. All the outstanding debts and funeral expenses are then paid with the remainder being distributed amongst the beneficiaries in the Will.
This can be an arduous task for anyone who has no experience of Probate, not to mention time consuming, at what is often a time of great sadness and confusion.
If the estate is worth more than £325,000 there may be a liability to Inheritance Tax. It would be essential for the Executors to enlist professional help in such circumstances, especially since they become personally liable for any errors.
