Wills and Probate

What is a Will and why is it important?

A Will is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets and appoints individuals to manage your Estate. It ensures that your loved ones are provided for and that your wishes are respected after you pass away. Without a Will, your Estate may be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your intentions.

The Probate process explained

Probate is the legal process of validating a Will and administering the Estate. It involves confirming the validity of the Will, paying off debts, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. If no Will exists, the process becomes more complex, requiring assistance to ensure proper administration in line with legal requirements.
