How Probate Works With Ade

Meet Ade, Your Probate Specialist
No call centres. No case handlers. No handoffs. You deal with me directly, start to finish.
Every estate starts with a conversation. I listen, I review, I tell you exactly what is involved before any commitment.
Why Speed Matters With Probate
HMRC gives 6 months to report and pay inheritance tax. Interest is charged after 6 months. Frozen accounts stall mortgage payments, funeral costs, and care home bills. Property chains collapse when the grant has not come through. The sooner you have a specialist on it, the fewer of these problems land on you.
The free callback costs you nothing but 20 minutes. You walk away knowing exactly where you stand, whether you work with Ade or not.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does probate take?
The grant of probate usually takes a few weeks once HMRC and the Probate Registry have what they need. Full estate administration, asset collection, debt settlement, and final distribution, depends on the estate. Simple estates can close within a few months. Complex ones, especially those with property to sell, can take a year or more. Ade gives you a realistic timeline on the first call.
Do I actually need probate?
You need probate if the deceased held assets in their sole name, if a bank or financial institution asks for it, or if there are complex assets like property, investments, or a business. If everything passes by joint ownership or sits below the bank’s probate threshold, you may not. Ade tells you on the free call which camp you are in.
Can I do probate myself?
Technically yes, the forms are publicly available on gov.uk. In practice, most executors who try it hit problems: miscalculated inheritance tax, personal liability for distributed assets, months of back-and-forth with HMRC. The question is not whether you can, it is whether the risk and time cost is worth it when a specialist can handle the whole thing for you.
What if there is no will?
The rules of intestacy decide who inherits, spouses, children, parents, and siblings, in a set legal order. You need letters of administration rather than a grant of probate, but the process is broadly similar. Ade handles intestate estates the same way as testate ones.
How does the free callback work?
You fill in the form. Ade reviews your details personally and calls you back at a time that suits you. The call is a short, no-obligation chat about your situation. If it is a good fit, you agree the next steps. If not, there is no pressure either way.
