Administration of estates
Hart Brown's probate lawyers are based in Surrey
These pages do not attempt to explain all aspects of administering an estate. Each estate is different in complexity and make up. For this reason not all of the information contained on these pages will be relevant to any particular estate. However, the information aims to assist you in understanding a little more about the steps involved.
Estate, probate, executor, grant of representation - what does it all mean?
To be faced with such questions, at what is very often a particularly emotional time, is difficult to say the least.
The term probate conjures up different images for different people. The term literally means "proof" but is generally used to describe the administration of a person's personal possessions and property (or estate) when they die. This can vary from the very straightforward to the hugely complex.
