Administering an estate
We can advise you on all aspects of probate and the administration of estates including executors responsibilities, tax implications and any inheritance issues.
Deeds of Variation
In certain circumstances, wills can be rewritten after death in order to minimise tax liabilities. These are called ‘Deeds of Variation’ and can come into play when, for instance, a beneficiary wants to pass on their inheritance to the next generation.
Disputing a will
Sometimes wills are challenged and claims made by both family and non-family members. This often occurs in situations where there are second families. We can advise you on the validity of the will in question and on whether you have a case.
Intestacy
If someone dies ‘intestate’ it means that they have not made a will indicating who is to receive their estate. We can help you to administer the estate of someone who has died intestate.
