With regard to the matter of Probate in Essex (or anywhere else for that matter), it is worth considering as to whether this is a matter that should really be left to the professionals to resolve.
At the time of writing, 2016 has already seen many much-loved celebrities in the UK alone pass away including David Bowie, Sir Terry Wogan and Ronnie Corbett.
Of course, there is no denying that it can be shocking when a famous person passes away, but when the passing is that of one of our loved ones or a dear family member, it can be an absolutely harrowing time for all of those that are concerned.
In this regard, it is arguable that, aside from allowing for the administration of a person’s estate, the process of Probate really does not help anyone because of its formalised nature. By way of illustration, many banks, building societies and other companies and organisations that deal with different aspects of a person’s estate may demand a Grant of Representation before they can release any funds that they hold.
In addition, it is also to be noted that the completion of this process from start to finish may cost a small fortune and take a considerable period of time to complete even if you do not try and do it yourself!
Therefore, the reality is that the majority of people require assistance to effectively complete the Probate process to administer a deceased person’s estate to those that are to benefit from it under the terms of a Will or the provisions of the law where a person dies intestate (i.e. passes away without having a legally valid Will in place).
