| When someone dies what he or she leaves behind is referred to as their "Estate". If you die leaving an Estate valued more than £5000.00 then it is necessary for the appropriate person/s to obtain a Grant to establish their entitlement to collect in your Estate and distribute it to those entitled. There are different types of Grants of Representation, each designed to cover a particular circumstance. The most common ones are those which cover the two most common situations - either the deceased died leaving a valid Will or they did not.
If you die leaving a Will then you will require a Grant of Probate. "Probate" usually refers to the legal process whereby the deceased's assets are collected together and, following various legal and fiscal steps and processes are, eventually distributed to the Beneficiaries of the Estate.
"Probate" has a particular legal meaning but it is generally used within the English legal profession as a term to cover all procedures concerned with the Administration of a deceased person's Estate, when they left a Will.
