Other jurisdictions have their own versions of a Grant, and obtaining a Grant in every jurisdiction where the Deceased owned assets is usually necessary.
If the Deceased died in England and Wales, Myerson can assist by obtaining a Grant and liaising with a foreign Solicitor to arrange for the English/Welsh Grant to be resealed in their jurisdiction.
If, however, the Deceased died outside of England and Wales, and they owned assets in England and Wales (such as property, shares, bank accounts, etc.), then the procedure to obtain a Grant in England and Wales is slightly different.
It will be necessary to consider the Deceased’s domicile status to determine how the Estate will be distributed, where any tax will be paid and where the initial Grant should be issued.
If a Grant is issued in a foreign jurisdiction first, Myerson can assist by resealing the foreign Grant of Probate.
It isn’t possible to reseal a Grant issued in every foreign jurisdiction; there is a list of applicable countries and jurisdictions set out in law.
