Guernsey Probate in England
Guernsey has a similar probate process to that of the UK with the terminology almost the same as that adopted in the UK with a Grant of Probate issued to the named Executors in a will. The Ecclesiastical Court in Guernsey, administers probate applications and performs a similar task to that undertaken by the Probate Registry in the UK.
If you would like our help obtaining probate in the UK we would require the following documents :-
- Details of the UK Assets to be collected
- Death certificate
- Sealed and certified copy of the Guernsey Grant of probate and will
- Identification of the named executor
Typically, we can obtain probate within 6-8 weeks however it is important to appreciate that every case is different, with a compulsory UK inheritance tax return required in every case.
