Evans Harvey How we can help
When a loved one passes away, dealing with their estate can be considerably stressful for the family and friends of the deceased. This process is known as ‘estate administration’, and involves a designated individual(s) or ‘executor’ distributing the financial assets that make up the estate in accordance to their Will. The term ‘probate’ comes from grant of representation (or, grant of probate) that must be obtained by the executor prior to the task at hand, allowing access to the person’s bank account.
- Obtaining Grants of Probate (if there is a Will), or Grant of Letters of Administration (if there is no Will)
- Calculating the value of the Estate
- Post-death arrangements to reduce Inheritance tax
- Completing Inheritance Tax forms
- Preparing Estate Accounts for approval and paying the final balance to the Beneficiaries.
