Speak to a solicitor

A few quick questions, then your personal plan.

Where did the person who died live?

Probate works differently in Scotland and Northern Ireland, so this decides what applies.

Farra can only pass enquiries about England and Wales.

If the person lived outside the UK, which country's law applies depends on where they were domiciled and where the assets are — a question for a solicitor in that country first, and one here only if there are assets in England or Wales.
