Probate: Grant Only

A Grant of Probate is a legal document issued by the probate registry that confirms the authority of the executor to manage and distribute the deceased’s estate in accordance with their will. Obtaining this grant is crucial as it allows you to legally handle the deceased's financial affairs, sell or transfer assets, and ensure that their wishes are properly carried out. By securing this document through our service, you avoid potential legal complications and delays.

The Grant Only service covers obtaining the legal document that authorises the Executor to manage the estate. Full Administration, on the other hand, involves comprehensive management of the estate, including valuing assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries.
