Wills & Probate

If there is a will

• The Executor(s) named in a Will, or the deceased’s personal representative, is responsible for arranging the funeral.
• The Will may give instructions concerning the funeral arrangements but the Executor is not bound by this.
• The Executor is responsible for looking after and subsequently disposing of the deceased’s assets and property.

Probate & Letters of Administration

• The Executor(s) must provide ‘proof ’ of a Will in order to obtain Probate.
• If there is no Will, the deceased’s personal representative should apply for Letters of Administration,
• A Solicitor may be needed to deal with some, or all aspects of the deceased’s estate.
