Bath Probate Solicitors

Our Bath probate solicitors understand how difficult the time following the death of a loved one can be. It is our goal to handle as much of the legal side as possible, leaving you to come to terms with the emotional impact of the situation.

In straightforward terms, probate is the process of administrating the 'assets and liabilities' of the deceased.

The process itself involves several stages and a lot of paperwork. Some of the steps our lawyers will undertake are as follows;

 Inform the banks and building societies which hold any assets

 Value the Estate and calculate the Inheritance Tax bill

 Settle any debts

 Distribute the assets as dictated in the Will

Our solicitors take a sensitive yet pragmatic approach to this area of law. We will handle your case with the delicacy you would expect, while completing probate as quickly and efficiently as we can.

Whether you need our assistance administering the Estate of a loved one, need advice if no Will has been left (intestacy), or have questions regarding Power of Attorney, we can find the right expert to handle your case. Speak to our team using the number below to find out more.

Wills

We always encourage clients to write a Will, as not doing so can leave your loved ones with a lot of unnecessary hard work when you're gone.

There are many reasons you might want to think about writing yours;

 You can decide who gets what. Otherwise this privilege goes to the government

 If you are cohabiting, you can ensure your partner will inherit

 You can state who should look after any children or dependents

 With careful planning it may be possible to mitigate your Inheritance Tax bill

 It is a chance to express any requests you may have relating to your funeral arrangements

Writing a Will is easy, and our Bath probate solicitors are ready to talk you through the process.

Whatever your query involves, contact us today to find out how we can help. You can complete the form to the right and we will get back to you, or speak to us directly using the number below.
