It cannot be overemphasised that no-one named as an executor in someone's will is under any obligation to seek the services of probate solicitors.
Probate is necessary when the executor needs to deal with the deceased's estate because it gives him or her legal authority to do so. It can be very complicated and timely process, but many people, without any legal background at all, have been able to carry it out quite satisfactorily. However, there are times when the executor needs probate legal advice.
Specialist probate solicitors provide a professional service for those needing advice and assistance when dealing with the estate of a lovable close friend. It could be that the executor just needs some good probate legal advice [perhaps on points of law or procedure] and then will be quite happy to carry on dealing with the estate themselves. However, there are often occasions when the executor may want probate solicitors to deal with the entire case.
There are several reasons why probate solicitors may be asked to handle the distribution of the estate entirely. The executor may be unwilling to deal with it, may lack the amount of time for the matter to be dealt with satisfactorily or may not feel confident about dealing with such matters. Fortunately there are those in the legal profession with the training, knowledge and professional competence to deal with probate.
Probate legal advice, along with the assistance of specialist probate solicitors is particularly important when a will is being contested. Other reasons for seeking legal advice could be if any of the property relating to the estate is outside the United Kingdom, or if at the time of the deceased's death it was bankrupt. Also if more than one administrator was named in the will they might not be able to agree on a course of action. Here legal advice may be crucial in helping develop some consensus.
One thing that any executor must not forget is that he is dealing with legal issues. The wrong decision could lead to him being sued. This fact alone is a very good reason to hand the whole estate over to specialist probate solicitors.
Anyone who has been named as an executor must apply for Grant of Probate to gain the legal authority to deal with estate. He must also fill in the necessary forms and then swear an oath. By contacting and using the services of a solicitor the executor will be sparing himself the time and trouble of carrying out these tasks.
