We recognise that dealing with the death of a loved one can be an extremely difficult and emotional time when legal formalities will be the last thing on your mind.
We can offer sensitivity and a wealth of experience at this crucial time to take the pressure off you by ensuring that the wishes expressed by the Will are carried out and the estate is fully administered as quickly and as painlessly as possible.
The following are examples of how we can help:
Acting as professional Executors or on your behalf to obtain Probate or Letters of Administration, calling in assets, paying liabilities, distributing the assets and setting up any necessary trusts.
- Settling all taxes (Inheritance, Capital Gains and Income tax) due by the estate and dealing with issues of Domicile and Residence.
- Preparing full Accounts showing how the estate has been administered and distributed.
- Explaining how the estate will devolve, interpretation of Wills, and the effect of any claims against the estate.
- Advising beneficiaries on how best to invest (we have an in-house Independent Financial Adviser) and protect their entitlement tax efficiently.
- Drafting Deeds of Variation where a beneficiary wishes to redirect some or all of their entitlement.
We do NOT charge a “value” element for estate administration. Therefore there are no hidden charges.
