Learn how we help

Laurelo was founded after experiencing first-hand how complex and stressful probate can be. Established in 2013, we’ve built our ethos around three principles: families first, transparent fees and clear guidance in a personal setting.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Probate Extraction

We can obtain the Grant of Probate on behalf of the named Executor if there is a Will, or on behalf of the Administrator if there is no Will. This allows the Executor or Administrator to collect funds, pay any outstanding debts, and then distribute and/or transfer the remaining assets to the beneficiaries.

Personal Case Manager

Every estate is different, but there are various stages of the probate estate administration process which are required in most cases. If you have any questions during the process, you can ask your Personal Estate Manager. They will keep you updated at each stage along the way.

Laurelo <b>Professional</b> Executorship

Professional Executorship

An Executor is the person(s) or organisation you elect to administer your estate and carry out the wishes in your Will. When writing your Will deciding who to appoint as your Executor is a big decision.

Will Storage

You need to ensure that your Will is kept safe and secure. If anything happens to your Will, such as theft, flood or fire, or it cannot be located, your estate may need to be distributed according to Intestacy rules rather than to the Beneficiaries of your choice.

How does Probate work?

Probate works slightly differently depending on whether the deceased person left a Will or not. The process is different, but the end result is the same – the Executors (where there is a Will) or Administrators (where there is no Will) are given the authority to deal with the estate.

Whether or not the deceased person left a Will can have a substantial impact on completing Probate. Wills are used to appoint Executors, set out wishes in relation to funeral plans, guardians for children and distribution of property.
