In recent years, the probate process in England and Wales has undergone a digital transformation. With the introduction of online services by HMCTS (Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service) and HMRC’s efforts to streamline Inheritance Tax reporting, Executors and legal professionals have seen significant changes to the way estates are administered. However, despite these advancements, inconsistencies remain in the adoption of digital solutions, leaving many questioning whether progress is truly being made.
Kings Court Trust’s latest blog takes an in-depth look at what the future of probate looks like and covers:
- The digital transformation of probate services
- HMRC’s mixed approach to digitalisation
- Printed signatures
- Moving forward: A fully digital future?
