Have just received letter about my dad deceased to say solicitor has received the grant of probate. Have made an appointment. What happens next please.
Sorry but I'm not answering any more of your questions because you never get back to those people who have taken the time to give you good advice -and not only me.
You collect it and if you are the executor you start administering the estate. Most organisations will need a copy of the probate certificate before they release funds, close accounts etc. You'll need to give a copy to whoever is selling the house too.
It's called a Grant of Representation and you need it to show to a variety of organisations in order to sort out your dad's estate. Just go to the meeting and it will be explained to you.
