Questions

Common questions about wills and probate

Ask about your situation
Do I need a solicitor to make a will?

Legally no, but a solicitor-drafted will significantly reduces the risk of errors that could make it invalid or cause disputes. It's especially important if your estate is complex, you have children from previous relationships, or you want to include trusts.

What is probate and when is it needed?

Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person's estate. You need a Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration if there's no will) to access most bank accounts, sell property, and distribute assets. Estates under certain thresholds may not require formal probate.

Can I challenge a will?

Yes, on several grounds: lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud, or improper execution. The Inheritance Act 1975 also allows certain family members and dependants to apply for reasonable financial provision even if excluded from a will.

How long does probate take?

A straightforward estate without property typically takes 3 to 6 months. Estates with property, complex assets, or disputes can take 12 months or more. A probate solicitor can manage the entire process on your behalf.
