At Dignity, we understand that when someone dies, you may need some practical support following the funeral. That’s why we make it easy to get guidance from our legal services team. We’ll start by talking through your situation to understand if you need to apply for probate. If you do, we will give you a no-obligation fixed-fee quote.
Probate is a legal document which gives you the authority to handle the estate of someone who has died. People also use the term probate to describe the process of administering someone’s estate.
If you are named as an executor in a will, you may need to apply for a grant of probate. If there is no will and you are acting as an administrator, you may need to apply for a grant of letters of administration. These documents aren’t needed in every case – we can help you understand if you need to apply.
We have decades of experience supporting families with probate. From helping you understand whether you need to apply for probate, to submitting the application, and handling estate administration.
We always start by getting to know you to understand more about your situation. If you do need probate, you’ll get full support from a friendly member of our team with the expertise to deliver a service you can trust.
