Someone leaving a will is said to be testate. It may be necessary to apply for a Grant of Probate. If there is an intestacy (no will) an application to the Probate Registry for Letters of Administration may be necessary. Legal advice may be required about Inheritance claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
When someone is unable to look after their own affairs there are numerous problems. We can help with some practical advice or apply to The Court of Protection. However, it is better to avoid these problems by making a Lasting Power of Attorney and we can do this for you.
