​

Probate may sound like a complex series of tasks to the uninitiated. In simple terms probate is the process of sorting out someone's estate; managing distribution of their property, money, possessions after they died, as per their will. This may be on behalf of a family member, a close friend, or someone you have cared for in old age or illness.

 

Probate is carried out by the executor; any named individual over the age of 18. If you are the executor of a will, it will be your responsibility for carrying out probate. This entails gathering the departed's assets, paying off their bills and distributing the assets according to their wishes. You can either take this on yourself or instruct a professional company like Maplebrook Wills South Wales, who have a friendly and supporting team to act on your behalf.
