Areas of Law / Wills and Probate

Can you tell me what happens when someone dies intestate leaving less than £100,000? Is there any need to involve a solicitor?

The procedure for administering the property of someone who dies without making a will is similar to that where a will is involved. So you should seek the advice of a solicitor where there’’s a business or a trust or large sums to deal with, or if complications arise. A personal representative won’’t have been nominated, so an administrator will have to be appointed. He or she may well have to apply to the Probate Registry for authority to wind up the estate unless there is a surviving spouse and the bulk of the assets is in joint names. The Probate registry will provide you with the basic information you require.
