Checking which assets require a grant
At our Maidenhead office, we help executors establish whether a probate application is needed before taking on unnecessary paperwork. Make a separate list of properties, accounts and investments rather than rely only on an estimate of the total estate value.
Ownership matters. An asset in a sole name may need a grant, while a jointly held asset may pass differently. Banks also have their own requirements for releasing funds. The fact that one account can be closed without a grant does not establish the position for every other asset.
Bring the will and any letters from asset holders to your appointment. We check what authority each institution requires and explain the difference between applying for a grant and administering the rest of the estate. You can then choose the level of help that suits the work involved.
