The name Probate is technically misleading as it refers to the "process of legally establishing the validity of a Will before a judicial authority". It is therefore only a small part of the estate administration process. A more useful definition is Estate Administration. The process of administering your estate on your death is the responsibility of your Executors. Your Executors will be responsible for administering your estate and your assets in accordance with the terms of your Will, and the rules and laws of probate. There are few things as traumatic as dealing with the death of a loved one.

Dealing with insurance companies, HMRC, locating the will, and securing the assets are but a few of the draining but necessary things to be dealt with. Add to that grieving family members, gathering the money, assets, and investments, it is little wonder that many families are overwhelmed by this life event.

It is crucial however you have the right people appointed to ensure that your wishes are adhered to and in accordance with the rules and laws of probate. Here at Charis Life Planning we are able to provide you and your Executors with advice and support throughout the entire process. Sometimes a loved one may die intestate, which is passing without having left a valid Will. However their estate must still be dealt with according to the Law. Charis Life Planning is able to provide advice and real assistance in those circumstances as well.
