We’re Here to Help

The term probate refers to the process of dealing with the financial and legal aspects of a person’s possessions, property, money and assets after they have passed away. Probate starts with your consultant checking if there was a valid will, and if so, confirming the person or persons responsible for administering the estate of the deceased.

If the deceased has a will, then a grant of probate can be applied for by the executor of the will to enable them to deal with the finances and assets of the person who has died. If there is no will then the next of kin can apply for probate. This process can be traumatic and sometimes complicated if, for instance, the deceased has not left a will and/or has no next of kin. The team at RK Wills are here to help hold your hand and navigate the probate timeline. Our probate consultants are empathetic and experienced in dealing with legal processes such as applying for probate and offer free, no obligation initial consultations to ensure that we’re the right people for you.
