Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the role of an executor in probate?

    An executor is responsible for managing the deceased's estate, which includes collecting assets, paying debts and taxes and distributing the remaining property to beneficiaries as per the will, playing a pivotal role in ensuring the deceased's wishes are honored.

  • Can the will be contested?

    In some circumstances, wills can be contested, but it's a complex legal process depending on each individual circumstance.

  • Are beneficiaries responsible for the deceased's debts?

    Beneficiaries generally aren't personally liable for the deceased's debts. Debts are typically paid from the estate's assets, and if the estate is insufficient to cover debts, beneficiaries may not receive their full inheritance, emphasising the importance of proper estate management.
