What is a Grant of Probate

A grant of probate is a legal document that authorises the executor named in a will to manage and distribute a deceased person's estate according to their wishes. This process involves validating the will and confirming the executor's authority to handle the estate's assets, pay debts, and carry out other necessary legal obligations. Obtaining a grant of probate ensures that the estate is settled properly and in accordance with the law, providing clarity and legitimacy to the distribution of assets.
