Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an inheritance order and a probate order?
A probate order is requested when there is a will. An inheritance order is requested when there is none, and the estate is divided by law.
Is a handwritten will valid?
Yes, if written entirely in the testator's own hand, signed and dated. A will made before witnesses or a lawyer reduces the risk of a contest.
