If you are named as the executor of someone's will, you are responsible for the administration of their estate. This means you may need to apply for a grant of probate (an official document issued by the courts). You are also required to make sure that the person's wishes are followed, as set out in their will.
If you are appointed as the administrator of the estate of someone who has died intestate (without making a will), you must follow the rules of intestacy which are set out in the Administration of Estates Act 1925.
Whatever the situation, our expert team can explain the law, deal with the legal paperwork, and help you with gathering and distributing assets to the beneficiaries.
