Probate and Estate Administration Workbook

Estate planning is widely considered the ‘new black’ for many advisers. If this is true then the ‘next wave’ for advisers, particularly as the baby boomer generation enters the last phase of their life span, is probate and estate administration.

1. Discussion about what probate is exactly, when is it needed and how do you get it
2. Exploration of the key steps in obtaining probate
3. Analysing the key steps in estate administration
4. Identifying the key areas where advisers can add value
5. Specific examples
