Probate and Estate Administration

When a loved one dies, we face one of the most difficult times of our lives and the responsibility of acting as the Executor or Administrator of their estate can be a lot to deal with.

There are many aspects involved in Probate and Estate Administration including:

• Registering the death
• Collecting all appropriate paperwork (e.g. bank statements, bills etc)
• Establishing the value of their assets,
• Organising valuations where necessary
• The payment of any Inheritance Tax and/or debts
• The application for the Grant of Representation
• Notifying all the necessary authorities such as HM Revenue and Customs, The Department of Work and Pensions, employees, banks, building societies and insurance companies.

Ostrich Law can help lift the burden of Probate and Estate Administration and provide you with sympathetic and professional support during this time.

We can obtain the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, deal with the Inland Revenue and generally administer the estate as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
