Probate -
Taking the strain in trying & demanding circumstances
|
|
|
If you have been granted probate, it means you have been given legal responsibility for managing the financial affairs - the bank accounts, the house and other assets - of someone who has died.
|
|
The trouble is that when you are bereaved and struggling to come to terms with the loss of someone dear to you, the everyday details of life become a real burden.
|
|
Andersons Solicitors can take the strain. We have years of experience in administering what needs to be done.
|
|
|
If a Will has been made, the named Executors will be granted probate. If not, then next of kin (as defined by Act of Parliament) can apply for Letters of Administration, giving them the power to act on behalf of the deceased. |
|
The Executors or Administrators can:
|
|
|
|
|
-
Gather in assets, close bank accounts, claim insurance money
-
Sell property or shares
-
Run the deceased's business, appoint someone to do so or sell the business interests
-
Pay off debts and settle tax affairs with the Inland Revenue
-
Distribute bequests specified in the Will - or if there isn't one, distribute assets according to the law
|
|
| If you turn to Andersons Solicitors for help, we will: |
|
-
Advise you promptly and efficiently, explain in clear language what needs to be done and how long it might take
-
Keep you up-to-date on what is happening - and use the latest computer technology to support smooth progress
-
In many cases give you a fixed-fee quote for our work, or, in more complex situations, offer a realistic estimate of the cost.
