What is Probate?
Probate is the court’s authority, given to a person or persons, to administer a deceased person’s estate. And the document issued by the Probate Registry is called a Grant of Representation.
This document is usually required by the asset holders such as banks and other financial institutions. They require this documentation in order to prove:
That the correct person or persons have the Probate Registry’s authority to administer a deceased person’s estate.
When is Probate required?
The Probate process is needed when investments (typically over £5,000) were held in the deceased’s sole name. And the banks, building societies, and other organisations. Request for a Grant of Probate/Letters of Administration in order to release the funds held.
Who is a personal representative and what are their duties?
A personal representative is usually the named Executor of the deceased’s Will. When a person dies without making a Will. The personal representative is the person a grant of administration has been given to.
It is the duty of the personal representative to pay off all debts of the deceased. If this is not done then they may be liable to pay the money back into the estate. In order to avoid this, it is advised that the personal representative should apply for an Insolvency Administration Order.
