When a member of a family is deceased, their personal and financial belongings are distributed among the relatives and/or friends as per their will, a legal document made by the deceased before their death, stating the distribution of all their belongings. Probate is the legal document in which this will is proved in a Court and accepted as a public document that is the true last testament of the deceased. A probate has to be communicated to the executor, giving them the rights to the assets of the deceased, mentioning all the requirements and conditions.
A claim probated letter is an official letter that is sent in order to inform the executor of the will that it has been recognized and given the status of a legal document. The letter is a formal letter of a claim that is to be written briefly and must mention all the necessary details that might be needed by the executor of the will. The obligations that are required of the recipient must be outlined clearly. A Claim Probated letter needs to be acquired by the executor in order to claim the right to the Deceased’s assets.
