Grant Of Probate

[postman44]

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.

[postman44]

Should have been posted under law about probate sorry.

[AuntPollyGrey]

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.

[woofgang]

you go to the appointment.

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.

b;imey = pretty Poll has a bit of a lob on innit?
very sorry for your loss and it will take almost a year to get over the deah of loved one

turn up to the meeting and the laywer will say - you dont say if you know what is in the will or if the deceased died without a will

former he will tell you who who gets what from the will -
and the latter he will tell you what the law says about inheritance with no will.

and whilst you are at it make sure that you have a will yourself

anything like my family this process is a bit of dog fight
with everyone being as unreasonable as could be
