There is no set timeline for obtaining a probate certificate. The length of time depends on two factors: when you provide us with complete Estate information; and how long the Court takes to issue the Certificate once our application has been completed. The sooner that you are able to provide us with complete Estate information, the sooner the application can be prepared. However, once the application has been submitted to the Court, the return time for the Certificate is out of our hands. We should be able to provide you with a general estimate return time based on the jurisdiction in which the application is submitted.

No. The beneficiaries do not need to attend your appointment. You will communicate directly with beneficiaries throughout the estate administration process, with our guidance. If any of the beneficiaries retain their own legal counsel, we will communicate directly with their lawyer, as needed.

Before considering how your Estate is to be divided, it is helpful to have a record of what your assets include. It also allows us to provide the best possible estate planning advice.
