When do you need a Probate professional when dealing with probate?
Applying for probate is a task that many people find daunting, some people do successfully apply for probate themselves and some people don’t have the time to give up to the hours of paperwork and others simply don’t feel confident in their knowledge of probate.
Probate can be very complex and even the smallest of estates can take between 6-9 months to complete. Some people may have experience of dealing with probate in the past and are well aware of the obstacles that may arise, and others wouldn’t even know where to start.
