Re: Probate help required
Probate is simple if the affairs have been left tidy. We have a family friend who does it as a retirement earner. But he is a former senior inland revenue guy and used to dealing with the complexities.
I.E, all accounts identified, pensions, savings, assets etc. Otherwise probably safer to employ a specialist

Re: Probate help required
Yes, big time
Probate is a simple process which is concerned with assigning legal right to administer your father-in-law's estate. Nothing to be afraid of - very simple in this case, especially if there isn't a will. Want advice? Speak to Ed Last edited by Jabba; 24-07-10 at 01:32 PM. |

It has to go to probate because of the size of his assests, although we're not talking about humungous amounts. The amount that falls below probate are pretty small I'll wait to see if Ed's about, no rush
