  1. Where to Find the Online Probate Application & How to Apply for Probate in the UK In the UK, the online probate application and information on how to apply for probate can be found on the government's official website. Here are the steps to apply for probate in the UK: Check if you need probate: Before you apply for probate, you should check if you actually need it. Probate is usually required if the deceased person owned property or assets in their name, such as a house, land, or significant savings. Complete the probate application form: If you determine that probate is necessary, you can apply for it online using the government's Probate Application Service. You will need to complete an application form and provide information about the deceased person, their estate, and their beneficiaries. Submit the application: Once you have completed the application form, you will need to submit it online along with the necessary supporting documents, such as the original will and death certificate. Pay the fee: There is a fee to apply for probate, which is currently £215 for estates worth over £5,000. The fee can be paid online at the time of application. Wait for confirmation: After submitting the application, you will receive confirmation that it has been received by the probate registry. The probate process can take several weeks to several months, depending on the complexity of the estate.

  2. Receive the grant of probate: Once the probate registry has processed your application, you will receive a grant of probate, which confirms your authority to manage the deceased person's estate. It is important to note that the probate process can be complex, and there may be certain situations where you should seek professional legal advice. If you are unsure about how to apply for probate or have any questions about the process, it is recommended to speak with a probate lawyer.
