Probate is the process which involves gathering the assets of a deceased person, valuing their estate, paying any tax and bills, and distributing the estate according to their will.
From April 2019, proposed changes to the fees families must pay to administer the estate of someone who has died come into effect for some estates in England and Wales.
At a difficult and emotional time, having support on such complex matters can bring comfort as well as an assurance that as much of the estate is left to the beneficiaries as possible.
Our straightforward guide outlines the key areas where changes are being proposed, including the governments mandated increase in costs, and your obligations.
