According to the United Kingdom government website, DirectGov and The Law Society, more than one person, but generally not more than four, can be named as an executor for the same estate. In cases where the deceased had more than £5000 in accumulated wealth and did not leave a will, a spouse or next of kin such as children, parents, siblings or aunts and uncles, may be required to apply for a grant of letters of administration in order to exercise control of any property, investments or savings left behind by the deceased.
The process of applying for a grant of probate can be administratively laborious. It is important that one understand the forms and procedures involved in the process before filing an application.
Work through a Solicitor to Get a Grant of Probate
Check with an attorney or a local law society. Sometimes working through a law society can shorten the amount of time it takes to find an experienced probate attorney. After legal fees have been agreed upon, supply the attorney or solicitor with a signed letter that gives them permission to file for the probate grant on one’s behalf. Allow the solicitor several days to complete the necessary forms and file the application.
