Our capable and experienced probate team understands how stressful it can be to deal with the necessary legal processes that arise when someone dies, especially when that person is a loved one or close family member.
If you are appointed as the executor of somebody’s will, you may feel daunted by the thought of dealing with banks, the courts, the Inland Revenue and other official organizations. You may also be confused about the law or be unsure of how to go about administering someone’s estate.
When someone dies without making a will (known as dying ‘intestate’), the situation can be especially confusing and legally complex because of the intestacy rules that govern who can act as administrator, and how the person’s assets must be distributed.
If you are experiencing a bereavement we can help you by offering practical friendly advice as well as helping you to understand the law in relation to obtaining probate and administration of estates.
We can provide either simple ‘next steps’ advice to allow you to perform your duties or we can offer a more comprehensive service to lighten the load and allow you to come to terms with your loss.
