Historically this process can be lengthy and a recent piece of legislation known as the Non-Contentious Probate (Amendment) Rules 2018 aims to tackle this. For example the new Rules no longer require Personal Representatives to swear oaths and \u201cmark\u201d wills which was a process requiring the representatives to attend the offices of a Solicitor other than their own and to pay a small fee. From now on the Representatives will only be required to make a Statement of Truth which hopefully will save time and some cost.<\/p>\n<p>Fazia goes on to say \u201cAdministrating an Estate can be a difficult process at a difficult time and usually the Personal Representatives are not legally qualified so simplifying the process is a good thing and some would say, long overdue\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fazia deals with all aspects of legal work relating to wills, power of attorneys and probate and has rapidly built a reputation for assisting clients during what is usually a difficult time of their lives. Fazia concludes \u201cI enjoy my area of specialism and I look forward to seeing the impact of the new Rules on the Probate process and hope that it can make it a little easier for all involved\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Fazia can be contacted by email fazia.hussain@rrpassociates.co.uk or by telephone on 01442 229 670.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; New legislation introduced on 27 November 2018 will hopefully speed up the process for making applications to the Probate Registry.
