Although it’s a very difficult time for a husband or wife, children, relatives and friends, there are a number of things that need to be dealt with when somebody dies.
The legal process of administering a person’s Estate after their death is called probate. If a Will is straightforward and there are no unusual assets, this can normally be completed within a year. However, depending on the kind of assets to be distributed, the number of beneficiaries and the deceased’s tax position, this can be a complicated and lengthy process.
If you are an Executor of a Will – you have been appointed as a Personal Representative to handle someone’s affairs after their death – you are likely to need expert help. Our specialist lawyers provide a compassionate and efficient probate service.
