Dealing with the money of someone who has died
Sometimes probate is needed to deal with the finances of someone who has died. Probate is the legal process of dealing with someone's money, assets and possessions. If probate is needed, these assets will be frozen until you undertake this process.
You can find out if you need probate and get help from Co-op Legal Services.
