Re: What is probate (law)

They will need to obtain probate if you are leaving a house, it's pretty much all houses have to be put through the system.

My will is simple , just leaving house and savings to both kids . I think if I put a legal deed poll document with new name with will this should be accepted . Many thanks
As Julie says, if you are leaving a house and money over GBP5,000, then probate will need to be obtained.
