Probate
In association with our Legal Team
Applying for the legal right to deal with property, money and possessions (their ‘estate’) when they die is called ‘applying for probate’.
If the deceased made a will, you will be awarded ‘Grant of Probate’.
If the deceased did not make a will you will be awarded ‘letters of administration’.
Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a document that gives person/persons (the attorney-in-fact) the legal authority to act on behalf of another person (the principal) and make decisions when the principal is unable to do so in areas such as real estate, business, finance, health, and more.
A principal can allow their attorney-in-fact to make any of their decisions (using a General Power of Attorney) or some of their decisions (using a Specific Power of Attorney).
