Probate & Administration

Probate is the authority to deal with a deceased person's estate. When someone has died and left a will, the executors of the estate apply to the court for this authority.

We can assist in applying for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration ( used when no will has been made)  by:

• Advising on terms of deceased Wills, or applying the intestacy rules if there is no Will
• Preparing A Schedule of Assets and Liabilities in the deceased estate
• Completing HM Revenue & Customs forms including claiming the transferable Nil Rate Band 
• Contacting and Tracing Beneficiaries 
• Preparation of the Oath for submitting to the Probate Registry 
• Finalising Tax Affairs  
• Distributing the estate in accordance with the Will
