At GOOD LAW, we understand the complexities and emotions involved in managing these responsibilities. As experienced legal professionals, we're here to provide the support and guidance you need, whether you're an executor fulfilling a loved one's final wishes, facing the probate process or dealing with the estate when deceased died without making or having a valid Will. Did the deceased have a Will? If the deceased died with a valid Will, they are said to have died testate. The deceased’s Will contains, or should contain instructions as to who their Executor or Personal Representative will be. If the deceased died with a valid Will their estate may or may not need Grant of Probate. At GOOD LAW, we can assist you in assessing if the estate requires probate or not. What is Probate? Probate is the formal validation of a deceased's Will by the court, confirming the Executor or Personal Representative’s appointment and allowing them to manage the estate. Probate usually involves extensive paperwork and certain steps to be taken. GOOD LAW offers valuable insights and strategies to expedite probate proceedings, ensuring a smoother process for you to receive a Grant of Probate. Following probate, we can also assist you in dealing with and distributing the deceased’s estate to the beneficiaries. Did the deceased die without a Will? If the deceased died without a valid Will, they are said to have died intestate. If there is no Will, this means someone will have to apply to the court to be given permission to administer and deal with the estate.

At GOOD LAW we are here to assist you in applying for, and ensuring the right person applies to receive a Grant of Administration.
