Probate & Estate Administration

Estate Administration

At a time when legal and financial formalities may be the last thing on your mind our  team are on hand to offer a professional yet personal service.

Step by step our specialist team will guide you through the procedures involved in dealing with an estate including:

• Explaining the terms of any Will or the transfer of assets where no Will has been made.
• The duties of the Executors or Administrators.
• Calculating any Inheritance Tax liability and advising on how to finance it.
• Settlement of debts.
• The legal procedure and paperwork involved in valuing and releasing assets (known as obtaining the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration).
• Transferring assets to beneficiaries.
• Winding up an estate and accounting to the beneficiaries.
• Dealing with any potential disputes or conflicts arising from the Will.

To discuss any of these issues further please do not hesitate to call us on 01938 552545 or 01686 625134, email us at enquiries@harrisonsllp.com or complete a Free Online Enquiry.

We will deal with your affairs efficiently and sensitively and in accordance with your priorities. We will provide you with a realistic estimate of anticipated costs and timescales and keep you informed of progress at each step.

We will explain any potential complications which may arise at an early stage to avoid any hidden surprises.

Once the Executors have provided details of the estate assets and liabilities, Harrisons can provide a bespoke costs estimate in the very early stages of the estate administration.  We also regularly review the costs and keep you informed if the original costs estimate needs any revision, and if it does, why.
