Probate & Administration of Estates
When a loved one dies it is sometimes daunting knowing where to start.
As Solicitors, we are able to assist you every step of the way whether it is just helping you get a Grant of Representation or taking on the whole responsibility of winding up an estate on your behalf. We can also take on partially completed probates if you have found that matters have become more complicated than first thought.
-
If the estate of the person you are dealing with is over a certain amount, you will need to obtain a Grant of Representation. Before you can apply the value of the estate has to be calculated and this involves collecting in the value of each individual asset as at the date of death together with the amount of debts and liabilities owing as at the same date. If the gross value of the estate exceeds the Inheritance tax threshold, then the tax has to be settled before a Grant can be applied for.

A personal representative is someone who is dealing with the estate. This can either be as an Executor when you have been appointed by the Will or as an Administrator when you have been appointed by the Court.

Our services include :
We can take on some probate matters on a fixed fee basis so that you know, from the outset, the total amount of costs involved. This means that you do not have the worry of being charged for every call, letter or meeting. If there is some reason that we cannot offer a fixed fee arrangement (e.g. if the estate is complex) we will tell you at the outset.
