Exploring the Role of Probate Genealogy in UK Estate Administration: Best Practices and Emerging Trends for Wills and Probate Legal Professionals

At Blanchards Inheritance Ltd, we understand the complexities and challenges involved in administering estates in the UK. As a specialist probate genealogy firm, we recognise the critical role of probate genealogy in estate administration and how staying abreast of best practices and emerging trends can help legal professionals manage the process efficiently and effectively.

Probate genealogy involves identifying and locating beneficiaries of a deceased person’s estate. This process is crucial in ensuring that the estate is distributed in accordance with the deceased person’s wishes and that all beneficiaries are identified and contacted in compliance with legal obligations. Failure to do so can lead to disputes, delays and even litigation.

In recent years, the importance of probate genealogy in estate administration has increased significantly. The rise in international mobility and changes in the law, such as the introduction of the EU Succession Regulation, has made it more complex to administer estates with cross-border assets.
