Probate and administration of estates

Coping with the death of a loved one or a close friend imposes great strains
on you and your family. But at the same time the Executor, who is often a
close relative or friend has to start complying with the provisions of the
Will and the Law.

If there is no Will, the burden can be even greater. The closest surviving
relatives will be responsible for sorting out the Estate and then sharing it
out in accordance with the Administration of Estates Act 1925.

How can we help?
We have considerable experience in dealing with Probate and Administration
matters. We will explain clearly what is involved and deal with all aspects of
the Estate, including:

• Assistance with the funeral arrangements
• Arranging valuation of assets in the Estate
• Obtaining the grant of Probate or Letters of Administration
• Inheritance tax on assets
• Advising whether any tax savings are possible
• Arranging sale or auction of assets
• Arranging payment of any debts
• Advising on and dealing with the sale of property
• Collecting in and distributing the assets amongst the beneficiaries

We will also provide you with an estimate of the length of time it will take
to complete the matter. Throughout the matter we will will tell you at regular
intervals what progress is being made and what further action is required to
complete the matter.

Our aim is to provide a personal service and to deal with all Probate and
Administration matters as speedily and efficiently as possible, advising
clearly at all stages on the simple and more complicated aspects of the
matter.

When we finalise the administration of the Estate we will provide copies
of the Estate Accounts, giving a comprehensive breakdown to both Executors and
residuary beneficiaries.
