Administration Of Estates

When a loved one dies, the smallest problems can seem insurmountable. Our specialist lawyers can help to minimise the strain of the formalities that inevitably arise. We treat all clients with compassion and understanding, and offer a full or partial administration service depending on their needs.

If there is a Will, Executors will be appointed who are responsible for ensuring that the deceased’s wishes are carried out. To cash in or transfer the assets of the estate, a Grant of Probate will be needed.

If there is no Will, the estates are distributed under the Intestacy Rules.  Administrators will need to be appointed by the Court.  The Court will issue a Grant of Letters of Administration.

We are able to assist Executors or Administrators by offering the following services:

  • Verify and value assets and liabilities
  • Arrange for the payment of the funeral account from the deceased’s assets
  • Insert creditors notices in the appropriate press
  • Notify Beneficiaries of their entitlement
  • Arrange clearance and marketing of the deceased’s property
  • Prepare all paperwork to lead to the issue of a Grant of Probate or Grant of Letters of Administration
  • Deal with all HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) requirements to include Inheritance Tax, Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief
  • Deal with all aspects of sale or transfer of real property
  • Prepare final administration accounts to lead to distribution of the estate.

Insolvent Estates
This can be a very complex issue and is an area in which Brethertons LLP specialises.  Even though an estate is insolvent, it may still require administration to ensure that all creditors have been notified and dealt with appropriately.

Wills, Trusts and Estate Dispute Resolution
If you are unhappy with a Will and wish to challenge it’s contents or findings, or have not benefited when you think you should have, because someone has died without making a Will, then follow this link to our Wills, Trusts and Estate Dispute Resolution Services.
