Wills and Probate
There are times in life where you have to face up to and deal with the consequences of the death of a member of the family. Assets belonging to the deceased will pass on to beneficiaries either according to the terms of a will or if none has been made by the deceased then under the legal rules applying in such cases.
In either case application must be made to the Probate Division of the High Court of Justice. Only a certificate from the Court bearing the Court seal identifying the Executor or Administrator of the estate will be sufficient for the purposes of banks, building societies, the Land Registry etc.
We can help you draw up a will that will distribute your estate according to your wishes and ensure that your relatives and loved ones are properly catered for. We can also deal with probate. We can also act on behalf of the executors in the probate of an estate when a loved one has died.
Inheritance Tax
Inheritance tax is currently chargeable at 40%. However substantial savings can be made if appropriate advice is received and appropriate action taken.
