Home About Us Estate Planning Executry & Probate Inheritance Tax Property Estate Agency More Executry & Probate When a person dies, either having made a Will or not, that person's estate must be wound up. That is where all their assets are gathered in, any debts paid off and then what's left is paid out to those who are entitled to inherit. This is the Probate procedure, or Executry procedure as it is known as in Scotland.
