Our Aldridge probate solicitors understand how hard suffering a bereavement can be, and we make it our priority to provide all the legal support you need at this difficult time.
With sufficient effort it is possible to complete probate yourself, but the process involves many stages and there are potential financial penalties if the paperwork is not completed correctly. For this reason the vast majority of individuals feel it is worthwhile enlisting the help of a legal specialist.
Below are a few of the stages our Aldridge probate solicitors are able to undertake;
Informing banks, building societies, and other organisations which hold any assets
Valuing the Estate
Settling any debts, assuming there are sufficient funds available
Calculating the inheritance tax bill, if applicable
Allocating the assets as set out in the Will
Our specialists are also able to assist with Power of Attorney, inheritance tax, intestacy (where no Will has been left), and Will writing. Whatever you need our help with, we will treat you case with the delicacy and sympathy you need.
We always encourage clients to write a Will, as dying without leaving a valid document can mean a lot of unnecessary hard work for the loved ones you leave behind.
Writing a Will is your chance to decide who gets what, ensuring close friends or charities you care about do not miss out. This is especially important for cohabiting couples who will otherwise not automatically inherit as married couples or civil partners do.
Creating a Will is relatively straightforward and can give you peace of mind knowing your loved ones are provided for should the worst happen to you. Our team are ready to guide you through the process step by step.
