Grant of Probate
Your document must be pre-certified by a UK solicitor or notary public prior to being sent to us. We can then provide the Apostille only for this document. Most orders are completed in just 1-2 working days all being well. If you also need translation or embassy attestation services the processing time will be increased.
(Older versions of the Grant of Probate may have an original embossed seal present. These versions just require the Apostille only service without prior certification.)
Frequently used for:
The prevalence of individuals holding assets overseas has risen over recent years. In the event of a death an executor will manage how these assets are distributed and, when this involves assets based overseas, the executor will need to provide certain documentation to the authorities in the jurisdiction where the assets are held.
Typically, the executor will need to provide the death certificate, a grant of probate and the last will and testament.
When assets are held overseas these documents would need to be legalised. There may be additional documents required but this would be determined the requirements of the local authorities in the country in which the assets are held.
If you require assistance with legalising a grant of probate or any of the associated documents please get in touch.
