Frequently Asked Questions about Franklins Solicitors: Wills, Trusts and Probate Solicitors in Bedford

What is a Will and why should I make one?

A Will is a legal document that sets out your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets and the care of any minor children after your death. Making a Will ensures that your wishes are carried out, your loved ones are taken care of, and potential disputes over your estate are minimised.

What happens if I die without a Will?

If you die without a Will, known as dying intestate, your assets will be distributed according to the law rather than your specific wishes. This could result in your assets being divided in ways you would not have chosen.

What does your Wills and Probate service include?

Our Wills and Probate service includes drafting and updating Wills, applying for Probate, administering estates, and providing advice on inheritance tax planning. We offer a comprehensive service to ensure all your needs are met.

How long does it typically take to complete a Will?

The time it takes to complete a Will can vary depending on its complexity. However, most Wills can be completed within two weeks of receiving all necessary information.

What happens following the death of a loved one in terms of Probate?

Following a death, the executor named in the Will (or a close relative if there’s no Will) applies for Probate. This is a legal process which gives them the authority to deal with the deceased person’s assets. Our team can guide you through this process, helping you secure Probate swiftly and efficiently.

How much does Probate cost?

The cost of Probate can vary depending on the size and complexity of the estate. At Franklins Solicitors, we discuss all potential costs upfront during your initial consultation, ensuring a transparent pricing structure.
