The Executor has an obligation to obtain advice on how to administer the estate and how to deal with the beneficiaries, this is a legitimate legal expense that can be reimbursed from the deceased estate. Claire Dunning is here to help you throughout the process and remove any difficulties. 

The Importance of Probate

A grant of Probate or Letters of Administration (where there is no Will) gives the legal authority to the executor or administrator to administer the estate of a deceased person. Upon passing, the deceased’s bank accounts, shares, property are frozen.

Without a grant from the Supreme Court, an executor would not possess the legal authority to administer an estate or transfer any assets to the beneficiaries. For these reasons, probate is often a critical first legal step before the estate of a loved one can be effectively administered.”
