Overseas Probate

Moving abroad at a later stage in life is a dream for many people in the UK, however you may want to make sure you have every aspect covered, including Overseas Probate. Here at IWC we can help with Overseas Probate.

As a UK citizen you may need an English Will and a Foreign Will. If you do have assets overseas and in the UK we can help, we can provide you with an overseas willwriting service that integrates with your foreign will.

In addition if you have a loved one who has passed away owning assets in two countries we can also help. The authorities in different countries do not generally use the same terminology as the UK. Here we refer to probate and a grant of probate. Or where there is no will we refer to a letters of administration, however overseas there are several different expressions such as notice of succession. These are tantamount to the same thing, you still have a legal process to go through to claim the assets of a deceased person.

From France to Spain or Dubai to Australia and between we can help with the legal process of probate and estate administration.

For further information on overseas probate, spanish probate or italian probate please contact us free of charge in the UK on 0800 612 6105 alternatively if calling from overseas call us on 0044 208 150 2010

If a person passes away owning assets in excess of £5,000 or if an institution is likely to pay the estate of a deceased person a sum in excess of £5,000 then a Grant of Probate will most likely need to be applied for on the estate. Although some banks will accept a small estates indemnity form instead of a Grant of Probate if the estate of the deceased person is under £15,000. If not Probate or a Letter of Administration will have to be applied for. In other words who ever is dealing with your affairs must apply for a Grant of Probate.
