Administering the Estate of someone who has died can be a daunting task, particularly at such a difficult and sensitive time. We aim to help you through the process by offering a flexible, friendly and effective approach to the administration of the Estate.
Estate administration usually includes the following processes:
- Completing Inheritance Tax Forms
- Applying to the Court for a Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration)
- Collecting in the Assets
- Transferring or Selling Property
- Paying all Debts and Liabilities (including Funeral Costs)
- Completing Income Tax Returns
- Tracing Beneficiaries
- Distributing any Legacies
- Resolving any Disputes on the Will or the Estate
- Distributing the Final Sums to the Beneficiaries
