‘Probate’ is the phrase used to mean the process of dealing with someone’s assets (known as their ‘estate’) after they have died. It is also called Estate Administration. Probate is the correct term for a certificate of administration for someone who has died with a Will. A Grant of Representation is the phrase used to cover specific variations to this, such as a Grant of Letters of Administration (the equivalent to a Grant of Probate where there is no Will).
Doing these things will enable a solicitor to help the Executors apply for a Grant of Probate, which will enable them to distribute the estate, or advise upon who can make an application for a Grant of Letters of Administration and how the estate must be distributed.
Note: Delays can occur where there is a property to sell and a buyer cannot be found, or the property is being sold during a slow economic market.
