When somebody dies, the Probate Legal process provides their next of kin and others with the right to deal with the distribution of their estate.

Probate is the process by which somebody acquires authority to deal with the assets of a deceased person. To do so, a document known as a ‘Grant of Probate’ is issued by a court to the person named in the Will as an executor, or where there is no named executor, to one of the beneficiaries.

Probate Legal Definition

The Probate Legal process has a technical legal definition, but is also used within the English, Welsh and Scottish legal profession as a generic term to describe the diverse procedures involved in the administration of a deceased person’s estate. With reference to the laws of England and Wales and Scotland, the term Probate is used to refer to the legal processes through which the assets that belonged to the deceased when they died (their estate, which can include property, savings, pensions, physical possessions etc.) are identified, processed and distributed to the rightful beneficiaries. Who the ultimate recipients of an inheritance end up being, will depend upon various factors, including whether the deceased made a Will prior to their death, the manner in which they did so and the influence exerted by any third parties, the subsequent validity of the Will and the ruling of a court should the case ultimately go to trial.
