What happens after your death or the death of a loved one?
You may need to undergo a legal process known as Probate.
What is Probate?
Probate is a Court approval process that validates your will and confirms the appointment of an Executor. It is one of the most vital steps in the estate administration process that enables the Executor to carry out tasks such as paying creditors and distributing assets to all beneficiaries. The Probate process is strict and a failure to fulfill the requirements may delay the Grant of Probate which in turn may cause stress for you and your family. If performed incorrectly, the Executor may incur personal liability for errors made in administering the Estate.
