Services
When a loved one passes away, the management of their estate can be a complex and emotional process. At Apex Estate Planners, we are here to guide you through every step, ensuring that your loved one’s wishes are honoured with utmost respect and legal precision.
What is Probate?
Probate is a legal process initiated when an individual passes away. It involves obtaining the ‘Grant of Representation,’ a crucial document proving the validity of the Will and authorizing someone to manage the deceased’s estate. This process can be intricate, involving various legal, tax, and financial aspects.
Not always. While UK law mandates probate when there’s a valid Will and significant assets involved, certain scenarios may not require it. For instance, joint property ownership or small estates might bypass this necessity.
Estate administration encompasses handling all legal and tax affairs after someone’s death – a task that can be overwhelming amidst grieving for your lost loved one. We’re here to alleviate this burden, offering comprehensive services from inception to conclusion.
From reporting the death and registering it with appropriate authorities to notifying government organisations and financial institutions – each step post-death has its own legal requirements which can often be complex and time-consuming amidst grieving period.
For detailed guidance on each step involved in this process, refer to government guidance.

At Apex Estate Planners, transparency is our hallmark. You only pay for what you need – no hidden costs or “added value” elements. Whether you opt for our Grant-only Service or Complete Service package, rest assured of fixed-rate fees aligned with your needs and estate complexity.
