We understand that this can be a difficult time for our clients. That's why we work hard to take away the stresses and uncertainties that can arise when administering an estate.
We act for executors and trustees appointed under the terms of a will and administrators where there isn't a will.
Our team of experts will explain the process to you in language you'll understand and will manage the information gathering process.
We prepare the documents required to obtain probate, including the Inheritance Tax account and Statement of Truth. We'll make the application for the Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration), in the UK and will work with local lawyers other jurisdictions to ensure that the any requirements to deal with assets overseas are completed.
After probate has been granted, we assist with dealing with the assets and liabilities of the estate as you need us to. We'll liaise with HMRC where necessary and assist the executors with paying legacies and making distributions from the estate.

We also have the expertise to advise on appropriate tax saving opportunities and succession issues.
