> Probate and Estate Administration

Whether you are an Executor or an Administrator to a relative, we can provide answers to your questions about dealing with the affairs of the deceased.

At best an Estate Administration involves dealing with just a few financial institutions but even this can involve obtaining a Grant of Representation. More complex estates may mean that you must deal with Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, the production of Accounts and managing trusts. Estate Administration is quite a time consuming process and may take many months to complete.

By accepting the office of Executor or Administrator you are personally liable for the proper administration of an estate. When we are asked to act on your behalf you can get on with your daily life and, perhaps more importantly, have peace of mind knowing that the necessary procedures will be completed fully and correctly.
