Estate Administration

Dealing with the financial affairs of someone who has died can be upsetting for family members at such a difficult time. As professionals, we can deal with all aspects of administering a deceased person’s estates including:

We can provide advice and assistance at every stage of the estate administration, often referred to as probate, including:

• Liaising with all interested parties such as banks, life assurance companies, building societies, utility companies or private individuals with a view ensuring all monies due to the estate are collected in a timely manner and that all debts are paid prior to distribution
• Contacting the DWP with regards to benefit over and under payments
• Filing tax returns with the Inland Revenue
• Preparation of estate accounts to show all monies collected and paid out of the estate
• Distribution of estates under the rules of intestacy, or according to the deceased’s wishes where a will has been left

How do we charge?

Our fees reflect the work undertaken on a case by case basis, as some estates are more complex than others. However our fees are significantly less than those charged by most solicitors and banks.
