What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process of sorting out all the property, money, possessions and debt of someone who’s died. Going through probate usually includes gathering a lot of information, applying for a Grant of Probate, selling property and possessions, and sharing out what’s left.

Getting started can feel overwhelming - let Trustestate guide you through the steps to take.

Top questions

Do I need probate?

In some simple cases you may not need probate – but you’ll probably need it if the person who died owned property or they had more than £5,000 to £10,000 in a bank (the exact amount depends on the bank).

How long does probate take?

The time from someone dying to receiving your inheritance is often six months to a year – but it varies depending on quite a few factors.

Do I have to pay inheritance tax?

There’s no inheritance tax to pay if the estate is worth less than £325,000, or £500,000 in some circumstances. Above that, you'll typically pay 40% tax, however you may be able to claim further exemptions/reliefs.
