Probate
The death of a loved one is a distressing time. We can help with initial advice on practical issues such as registering a death, arranging a funeral (and paying for it), ensuring that estate assets, including any house or flat, are insured and safe and secure.
We can also:
- advise on whether a Grant of Probate is necessary, the implications of this and the options for obtaining a Grant
- apply for a Grant and deal with any tax issues on your behalf
- cash in or transfer bank or building society accounts and deal with shares and other investments
- arrange to clear and/or sell the deceased’s property on your behalf or transfer it to those entitled
- distribute the estate in accordance with the Will or intestacy rules (where there is no Will)
