Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a professionally drafted Will so important?
A professionally drafted Will ensures your final wishes are legally binding and clearly understood. It helps to minimize the potential for disputes among beneficiaries, can assist in tax planning, and provides invaluable peace of mind for you and your family.
What does "Probate" mean?
Probate is the official legal process that gives an executor the authority to manage the deceased’s estate. It typically involves validating the Will in court and getting a “grant of probate,” which allows the executor to access assets and distribute them according to the Will.
What happens if a person dies without a Will?
Dying without a valid Will is known as dying “intestate.” In these circumstances, the law dictates how the estate is distributed according to a strict set of rules. This may not align with what the person would have wanted, which is why having a Will is so crucial.
