What Is Probate?

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.
