Law For Life | Episode 8 | Probate, Executors and What Happens After Someone Dies
Law For Life
Wednesday, 10 December 2025 - 30 minutes
In this episode, Eddie Bell, a solicitor in the Wills and Probate team at Franklins Solicitors, joins Chris Gregg for a clear and practical discussion about probate and what really happens when someone passes away. Eddie explains the role of an executor, the first steps families need to take, and how to gather date-of-death valuations. He also explores dealing with liabilities, how inheritance tax is paid, and whether executors can be compensated for their time.
The conversation moves into common questions such as how long probate takes, what happens with shareholdings, and whether any other taxes might arise. Eddie also covers what to do if an executor doesn’t wish to act, whether a will can be changed, and the legal position when there’s no will at all.
This episode is designed to make a complex and often confusing process more understandable, offering clarity when people need it most.
