Certain assets cannot be transferred without a Grant of Probate of the Will. The Application for Probate includes information about the estate’s assets and liabilities and about those who have an interest in the estate. Once issued, the Grant of Probate confirms that the Will meets the legal requirements and that the executor has the authority to carry out their duties. Your lawyer can advise you on whether to apply for a Grant of Probate and other steps that can be taken to avoid disputes and problems after the Grant of Probate is issued, such as keeping good records.
