The Grant of Probate is a legal document issued by the Northern Ireland Courts that confirms you (the executor) have the legal authority to administer the deceased person's estate.
Why it's required: Banks, building societies, and other financial institutions will not release funds or close accounts without seeing the Grant of Probate. Similarly, you cannot sell or transfer property without it.
What it allows you to do: Once you receive the Grant, you can access bank accounts, sell property, close accounts, pay debts, and distribute the estate to beneficiaries according to the will (or intestacy rules if there's no will).
Full Solicitor Estate Administration
We do NOT provide a solicitor who will handle the entire estate administration on your behalf. You (the executor) remain responsible for the actual work of administering the estate.
Contacting Banks and Institutions
We do NOT contact banks, building societies, or other institutions on your behalf. You must send the letters, gather valuations, and communicate with these organisations yourself.
Property Transfer Services
We do NOT handle property transfers or Land Registry applications. However, this can be arranged separately (see below).
Ongoing Legal Advice
We do NOT provide ongoing legal advice about complex estate matters, disputes, or tax planning. If you need legal advice, you should consult a qualified solicitor.
Your Responsibilities as Executor:
If the estate includes property (houses, land, etc.), you will need to transfer ownership from the deceased's name. This is a separate legal process that requires Land Registry applications.
Cost: Property transfers can typically be arranged for approximately £300 total, which includes both the solicitor's fee and the Land Registry fee.
Important: You must obtain the Grant of Probate before you can transfer or sell property. If you plan to sell the property, that is a separate legal matter that will require additional conveyancing services, but the Grant of Probate is a prerequisite for any property sale.
If you need property transfer services, please contact us at [email protected] and we can provide referrals to trusted solicitors who specialise in this work.
