Probate and Administration
Probate is a procedure that has to be followed after a person has died if their total assets exceed £5000.
Probate is the legal document that gives the Executors of a Will authority to deal with the assets of the deceased. Where there is no Will it is known as Estate Administration.
Probate can be a complex process and Executors have a number of responsibilities. In addition to handling the assets and liabilities of the estate and preparing the legal and tax documents, the Executor is legally and financially liable for any mistakes, such as distributing assets incorrectly.
We can relieve the burden of these responsibilities.
We will:
- Provide a Probate helpline for the family at the time of death.
- Visit you at home to assess the Probate, legal and tax work needed.
- Provide a fixed price, no-obligation quotation for handling the Probate, agreed in advance.
- Handle estates where there is no Will or others have been appointed as Executors..
