What Happens If I Don't Make A Will?

If you fail to make a will, your estate will be divided according to intestacy rules.

In this case, usually only married partners and blood relatives can inherit the estate and it will be divided according to these rules.

Probate Solicitors

Probate is a legal process that administers the deceased person’s estate. This is so that assets, money and possessions can be released to those in line for inheritance.

We understand that this can be a difficult and complex time.

When probate commences, the assets of the estate are frozen. This is done to ensure that assets are not incorrectly distributed to the wrong people. Our probate solicitors and estate administration team can support you throughout the process and aim to make it as streamlined and stress-free as possible.

What Is Probate?

Probate involves the administering of a deceased person’s will and/or estate.

The process involves gathering and organising assets, money, possessions and property, as well as ensuring any outstanding debts and taxes are paid.

When a person leaves a will, the probate process will deal with the estate according to the terms set out in the will. If the deceased has not left a will, then the process involves determining the rightful heirs and ensuring the estate is divided according to intestacy rules.

How Does the Process Work?

If you need help, we can act as the Executor on your behalf. The basic responsibilities of an Executor include:

Why Should I Hire A Wills & Probate Solicitor in Birmingham?

We also advise appointing a probate lawyer to administer an estate on your behalf. The process can be highly complicated and disputes can arise between beneficiaries and the Executor, creditors and HMRC.

Lasting Powers Of Attorney

Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that grants a person of your choice the right to deal with your affairs if you become unable to do so yourself. This can be due to illness, mental health problems or an accident.

The document must be arranged while the person is sound of mind.

Our Lasting Power of Attorney solicitors in Birmingham can draw up agreements and register them with the Office of the Public Guardian.
