When you lose a loved one, it can be an emotional time dealing with the administration which follows. Our estate administration solicitors are here to help executors and family members take care of all the wishes in a will.
Our estate administration services are underpinned by a wealth of experience in probate and administration of estates, and our experts keep up to date with complex tax legislation that can be difficult to deal with during a distressing time.
How we can help you
When someone dies, it is usually necessary, whether they have made a will or not, to obtain a Court Order (a Grant of Representation) to deal with their financial affairs. If they have left a will, this is called a ‘Grant of Probate’. If they have passed away without a will, it would be a ‘Grant of Letters of Administration’.
Administrative duties require knowledge of the laws of property, succession and trusts, as well as the implication of Inheritance and Capital Gains Taxes.
Our estate administration solicitors can help the executors appointed in the will, or the family members entitled to inherit, deal with the often complicated paperwork in an efficient and cost-effective way. We know that these matters unfortunately arrive at a time when you are grieving and stressed. We are here to help guide you through with compassion and care.
We can assist you with:
- Applying for a Grant of Probate or Grant of Letters of Administration
- Taking care of the wishes in the will
- Valuing an estate
- The complexities of tax implications, such as Inheritance and Capital Gains Tax
