Answers to the questions we are asked most often about wills, probate and estate administration in Birmingham.
Probate is the legal process of administering someone’s estate after death. It usually involves validating the will, gathering in assets, paying debts and distributing the estate.
Not always. Some straightforward estates can be dealt with without legal representation. However, professional advice is often helpful where there are tax issues, multiple assets, disputes or uncertainty about the process.
A will can be challenged in certain circumstances, such as lack of capacity, undue influence or concerns about validity. If you are worried about a will or the way an estate is being administered, we can advise you on your options.
Costs depend on the size and complexity of the estate and the level of support needed. We explain the likely costs clearly and set out what is included.
If someone dies without a valid will, their estate is dealt with under the rules of intestacy. This may lead to outcomes that do not reflect what they would have wanted.
If you need advice on wills, probate or estate administration in Birmingham, get in touch and we will explain the next steps clearly.
