Probate and Estate Administration
When someone dies this can be a difficult and emotional time. Our Chichester Wills, tax and probate solicitors can guide you through the process sympathetically.
Upon death an Executor or Personal Representative is required to administer your estate to ensure at the very least all your liabilities are paid, your assets collected and distributed to your beneficiaries. Often a Grant of Probate is required to formalise the appointment of an Executor or Personal Representative.
Some estates however can be dealt with without the need of a Grant of Probate, our experienced lawyers can advise you whether or not this is a requirement.
We can assist throughout the process or deal with all matters on your behalf. Where appropriate we can also advise whether a Deed of Variation might be of benefit to vary the deceased’s Will and redirect gifts made under the Will or to make use of exemptions to reduce any Inheritance Tax liability.
Our team can also advise as to whether any Trusts arise under the Will and what steps must be taken in this regard.
