Collecting assets in probate means tracing and securing the deceased person’s money, property and valuables, consolidating accounts and documents, and ensuring funds can be raised to pay debts and taxes before distributing what remains to beneficiaries. A solicitor in this area identifies assets, gathers bank and investment records, liaises with banks, insurers and government bodies, and coordinates with executors or trustees to prepare an accurate inventory for probate. The work is shaped by the need to safeguard assets and satisfy liabilities before distribution.
