WILLS, PROBATE & LPA FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Wills and Probate and LPAs
What happens if someone dies without making a Will?
The estate is strictly divided according to the rules of intestacy, meaning partners or preferred relatives might inherit nothing.
What is the difference between a Will and a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)?
A Will manages your estate after death; an LPA appoints trusted individuals to manage finances or health while you are alive.
How long does it take to get a Grant of Probate?
Usually 3 to 9 months depending on the complexity of the estate and current HM Courts and Tribunals Service backlogs.
Can a Will be contested after death?
Yes, if a dependent was left out, or if there are doubts about mental capacity or undue influence during signing.
