What is Probate?
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012
Recent reports published by Google identify the search term ‘What is Probate?’ as one of the top 10 ‘what is..’ search terms entered in Google’s search engine in 2011. Why is this the case?
Probate is a complex subject which, with the exception of professionals specialising in this area, is a subject that may only be addressed at a time of need under duress. The explosion of the internet and the digital age helps those searching to deepen their understanding of an unfamiliar topic, assisting the searcher to make informed decisions. The logical first step could therefore be to run a Google search on the topic.
Certainty is on the front line when it comes to assisting those beneficiaries who are bereaved and unable to find a missing or later Will, thus ensuring the necessary and reasonable steps are taken to fulfill the deceased’s last wishes, as outlined in their last Will and Testament.
The full report from Google can be found on the BBC News website here.
