Is probate likely to be required?
Six short questions. We'll give you a view of whether probate (or Confirmation in Scotland) is likely needed, and explain why.
This is general guidance, not legal advice. Probate rules and the thresholds banks apply can vary. Speak to a solicitor or STEP-qualified practitioner before acting.
What we'll ask about:
- •Where they lived in the UK
- •Whether they owned a home and how it was held
- •A rough sense of the estate's value and what was held in sole name
