Steve Pett of The Probate Department (Brokers) in Eastbourne can point you in right direction for probate advice in England and Wales - whether it be a simple or complex estate.
Very often, whether or not probate is needed is to down to who holds the assets – banks, insurance companies etc. There may be no legal requirement, but everyone is paranoid about fraud these days, and a formal Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration) reassures the holders that you have the right to access whatever it
is.

Helping you save time and money, Steve can help you decide whether DIY probate is the right route for you or whether you need Solicitors or Probate professionals to help. But DIY probate can be a disastrous if:
- there are arguments within the family.
- you anticipate being chased every day for the beneficiaries cash and blamed for delays.
- anyone has been left out or specifically excluded.
- there is a business or trusts involved.
- there may be Inheritance Tax to pay.
- foreign assets are involved e.g. US based shares, overseas property.
- there have been significant lifetime gifts which may increase IHT.
- it may be better to use a Deed of Variation to amend the Will to (for example) skip a generation who are well provided for to avoid the Taxman taking a second bite of Inheritance Tax and benefit younger family members.
- the most common reason: the family members don’t have the necessary skills or time.
But remember, the estate pays the fees, not the executors.
Types of Help We Can Introduce you to:
The Probate Department (brokers) specialises in finding the right professional help for your situation starting with:
- Support as needed - a professional on tap to advise when needed. Or
- Obtaining the Grant - leaving the executors/ administrators to collect in the assets, pay the bills and distribute to the beneficiaries. Or
- Full Estate Administration – all the work in 2 carried out by professionals –very prudent in disputed or complex cases. Or
- Full Estate Administration - but with home visits and full management of property management, sales, insurance – even grass cutting if needed.
The Probate Department (Brokers) in Eastbourne can only offer general guidance rather than legal advice on Probate matters. They can help you decide whether DIY is the right route and support you either way, or they can find the right level of help, at sensible cost and potentially save you thousands as they have for many others.
