Understanding Wills and Probate
What is a Will?
A Will is a legally binding document that outlines how an individual wishes for their estate and assets to be distributed after death. It can include instructions for distributing property, naming guardians for minor children, and preferences regarding funeral arrangements. Creating a Will not only provides peace of mind but also prevents potential disputes among family members, as your intentions are clearly laid out and legally recognised.
The Importance of Probate
Probate is the legal process required to validate a Will and administer a deceased person’s estate. This includes collecting assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remainder to beneficiaries. If there is a valid Will, the executor named must apply for a Grant of Probate to gain the authority to act on behalf of the estate. If there is no Will, the process involves applying for Letters of Administration.
