Probate
When a loved one passes away it is an emotional time for the family. Unfortunately, the family have to deal with obtaining their death certificate and arranging their funeral. If applicable you also have to put their property and financial affairs in order and a process called Probate will have to be undertaken.
How do I know if I need one?
To work out if you need Probate, you’ll need to find out how much the deceased person's assets are worth.
You’ll also need to find out how these assets were held and if they were in the deceased person’s sole name, or in joint names with someone else who is still alive.
What's the process of probate?
In order to obtain Probate an application will need to be made to the Probate office. It will also need to assess whether Inheritance Tax is payable and a number of forms will need to be completed and lodged at the Probate Office.
Once the application has been completed a Grant of Probate is obtained and it is possible to deal with the deceased funeral expenses, property and bank accounts.
