We understand that the death of someone close can be a stressful and emotional time. In such situations, our probate solicitors can guide you through the process of winding up an estate, ensuring every detail is handled swiftly and effectively. We offer a full probate administration service.
When someone dies leaving assets, these must be ingathered in accordance with the terms of a Will or, where there is no Will, in accordance with the relevant and applicable laws. We are able to provide full management of the estate administration process. Our experience in this field can greatly relieve the stress felt by families during these difficult times.
Some of the steps involved in the probate process include the following:
Verifying that arrangements have been made for the funeral
Obtaining copies of the death certificate
Identifying administrators and obtaining acceptance where there is no Will
Determining the deceased’s assets
Notifying financial institutions, such as banks, of the death and requesting documents required for the valuation of the deceased’s assets
Arranging payment of debts and final taxes associated with the estate
Distributing the estate to the beneficiaries in accordance with the Will
Preparing estate accounts and issuing notifications to all residuary beneficiaries
Closing the estate account and completing the administration process
