The Probate process (or Confirmation as it is officially called in Scotland) can often take six months or more to complete. Continuing insurance of a property under the current home insurance provider may not be straightforward, as many providers will not wish to continue to insure a property that is unoccupied (because of the higher risk of claims). The property insurance will also need to be rearranged in the name of the executor with any beneficiaries listed on the policy.

Help with getting grant of confirmation/probate

 

The confirmation process in Scotland is very poorly designed. The official guidance is ambiguous and missing key components. This means that, although you may feel like you have followed all the instructions, it is almost certain you will be rejected with no explanation of why. 


Furthermore, different Sheriff Courts have different standards, resulting in rejection rates over 95% for personal applications in some places.


This is why we created our Probate Support Service. It has everything you need to prepare and successfully apply for confirmation/probate. Our service provides you with clear, step-by-step instructions written in plain English. We also check your forms for errors before you submit them and offer unlimited support to help you through to a successful conclusion.

Tackling a vacant property when someone dies When someone dies, leaving behind a vacant property, you need to understand what’s in the property, what it’s worth, and what you can do with it. Some things will be distributed according to the person’s Will, and other things might need to be sold or donated. This can be an overwhelming task, and take up a lot of energy, physically and emotionally. If you don’t live locally, things become even harder. A specialist house clearance company can make things easier.
