[[ASIN:1845284097 Probate: The guide to obtaining grant of probate and administering an estate]]
14 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
I am going through the tedious process of applying for Probate and filling in the the wealth of IHT forms etc. I found this book a really valuable help. It is clearly set out with easily followed explantions of the intricacies of the process and the order you follow when making the journey. The draft letters are very useful and you can modify them to suit your own situation. At the end of each chapter there is a helpful summary which includes a list of the Key points.
I recommend you read through the book before starting your own journey - it is easy to follow and it can be safely skimmed through in the first stage to get an feeling of what is needed. You can quickly find the relevant sections you will need when you are filling in the Probate forms. One excellent section is the "Worksheet" which you can use to collate all the information you will need in one place. You can then copy and paste the various items into the range of IHT forms you download from the IHT website. These forms can't be saved with the information you have entered so copy, paste and print is the order of the day.
I have read two other Probate guides but I think this is the best one to choose. You don't need any specialist information, just a dogged tenacity to see it through!
Highly recommended to anyone who is going to apply for Probate.

This book is current and very easy to read - important as inevitably it is read at a time of grief. Read it from cover to cover and now dip in as and when I need guidance. Worthwhile purchase

Format:Paperback
This book presents probate in a straightforward, easy to read manner aimed at a layperson who is dealing with probate for the first time. It is written by a solicitor who made step by step notes for his family so they could avoid using a solicitor. I have heard about the expense and hassle of using a solicitor and a friend who administered an estate said it was actually a fairly easy process. I haven't put this book to use yet but when that sad day comes I am confident that I will be able to do the job myself.
