Probate in Colchester, much the same way as anywhere else in the UK, is a process that usually needs to be completed in the event that a given individual passes away. The reason for this is that it has been found to be the case that if probate is not granted then the aforementioned party’s assets are frozen meaning that it is not possible for them be distributed between their beneficiaries under the terms of their Will or in keeping with the application of the law of England and Wales where there is not one.
Nevertheless, where a Will has been made by a person that has passed away then it often proves to be the case that the solicitors or Will Writers business that produced it for them is storing it for safe keeping. As a result, the family members and loved ones are often under the misapprehension that the same business that is storing the Will has to complete the probate process even where no agreement has been signed to this effect. However, it is also to be noted that the family members and loved ones to have been left behind may just not have either the time or the inclination to look for another one or more quotes due to emotional and/or physical exhaustion.
This is a really significant mistake to make. The reason for this is that Probate in Colchester or anywhere else in the UK does not have to be completed by the solicitors or Will Writers business that completed the Will and/or is storing it. In fact, it is really easy to find someone else to complete the probate process for you and very important to do so because the costs and service that you are given may serve to vary dramatically when family and loved ones of someone who has passed away need to be confident an expert is being instructed and that the fees are sensible. With this in mind, it would be wise to interview a few different probate providers on the telephone to find out not only how much they charge but also what they provide to you for your money (you may even be able to get one business to beat a like-for-like quote from another. It will not take long and could make a big difference to the ease with which the probate process is completed to benefit those that are left behind in a given case.
