What is a Will?

A Will is a vital legal document that expresses your wishes for the distribution of your assets upon your death. A Will allows you to appoint a guardian(s) to care of any minor children after your death and to decide who you wish to deal with the administration of your estate whether this is a family member, a friend or a professional such as a solicitor. Creating a Will ensures that your loved ones are provided for and that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and can avoid any disputes between family members. 

What is probate?

Probate is the legal procedure for settling a deceased person’s estate. It involves verifying the Will (if there is one), appointing an executor, settling debts, and distributing the assets to the rightful beneficiaries. If there is no Will, probate includes identifying the legal heirs and distributing the estate as per intestacy laws. This process ensures that the estate is administered correctly and in line with the deceased’s wishes or legal requirements.
