We are often instructed to deal with the reseal of probates. This usually occurs where a probate has been granted in a foreign country but there are assets in the UK which require the probate to be granted.
We currently have a number of such situations and applications are being made.
The application to reseal the foreign grant may be made to any District Probate Registry using the appropriate application.
Once resealed, the Grant has the same power and effect to administer the estate in England and Wales as if it had been made by the court in this jurisdiction.
At the same time consideration has to be given as to whether any inheritance tax is payable in respect of the estate administration, but we can advise.
