Understanding Probate: Key Facts

[@MrPennypiece]

I’m afraid the guidance given is incorrect from the very start. The correct facts are that you are required to apply for probate while at the same time calculating the amount and paying the inheritance tax due on the estate . In due course and assuming the HMRC are satisfied with the Probate application , then the Grant is issued to the Executor (‘s). Distribution of the state can now be made. The incorrect sequence of events is repeated in the summary of events further into the video.
