subject: Using An Online Probate Service [print this page] The internet has now officially taken over everyone's life. Pensioners keep an eye on their gas bills, teenagers arrange parties via social networking and everybody else books holidays, orders their groceries, or auctions their belongings.
By now, we should all know that not everything on the internet is as good as it sounds, and there are many unscrupulous people out there who want to take your money and identity. You may have received a probate scam email, telling you that you are a relative of a rich, dead person (because you have the same surname), and if you send money for taxes, etc, you will receive a huge amount of money. Too good to be true, because it is.
But the internet is mostly a power for good, and reputable companies have realised that it is now essential to our working lives. There is no longer the need to travel for meetings, even to travel to the local postbox. This is especially true for probate solicitors online. Probate solicitors who have been practising successfully for many years will advertise themselves in a professional and straightforward manner, unlike the greedy firms who will scream for your business. Some online probate solicitors even offer a fixed fee probate service - so you know exactly how much the estate will be expected to pay in legal fees when you sign up.
Online probate works in the same way as visiting a local probate solicitor, but without the travel, or setting aside a large part of your working day for a face-to-face meeting. You will be constantly updated, and email any questions or instructions in your lunch hour or from the comfort of your home -some solicitors will even be able to communicate with you by Skype. No more putting on a tie to visit the solicitor's office!
Using online probate has simplified the process for a probate solicitor's clients. Just fill in some forms and questionnaires, which can even be downloaded, return them to the online probate solicitor, and the process begins just as it does in the traditional way. At a time of bereavement, there is so much to do, especially for the executor of the deceased person's estate, that online probate really is a blessing. It will not only save you time, but, more importantly, the worry of how the process is progressing. Your online probate service will keep you informed at every stage of the process, which would take so much longer if you had to have face-to-face meetings or communicate through the post.
