FAQs
Do you have any questions? We have got you covered.
What is probate and why is it needed?
Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person's estate, including validating their will, paying debts and taxes, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. It's typically required to give the executor legal authority to handle the deceased's assets and affairs.
How long does the probate process typically take?
The probate process in the UK typically takes 6-12 months for straightforward estates, but can take longer for complex cases. With Clear Executor's support, we aim to obtain approval from the probate registry within 30-40 working days after submission.
Do I need a solicitor to apply for probate?
No, you don't legally require a solicitor to apply for probate. Clear Executor offers AI-powered assistance for executors who wish to handle the process themselves, with the option to connect with specialist solicitors if needed for more complex situations.
What's the difference between your free and paid services?
Our free service provides basic guidance and document checklists for the probate process. Our paid service offers comprehensive support including personalised case management, document preparation, inheritance tax calculations, and dedicated support throughout the entire probate journey.
What if the deceased didn't leave a will?
If there's no will (intestacy), we can still help. Our service guides you through applying for Letters of Administration and explains how the Rules of Intestacy determine who inherits the estate, ensuring you follow the correct legal process.
How do I value a property for probate?
For probate, you'll need an accurate property valuation that meets HMRC requirements. Clear Executor can arrange professional property valuations that comply with these standards, ensuring you don't face challenges from HMRC later.
