Probate facts
Probate, often assumed to be a very difficult procedure, is the legal process to effectively deal with the distribution of a persons assets once they have passed away. So many times we hear people say things like "My mum died and she never made a will, so we had to apply for probate" or they say "My uncle died but he made a Will and we still had to apply for Probate". Many people do not understand why an estate would go to
probate or why a family needs to apply for
Probate.
