Dealing with the loss of a loved one is always difficult, and handling the legal side of things is the last thing many of us want to be doing. Our Burnley probate solicitors can help to shoulder some of the legal burden so you can focus on coming to terms with your loss.
Some probate cases are more complex than others, depending on the value of the estate, the number of beneficiaries involved, and countless other factors. Below are just a few of the matters our team can assist with:
Informing banks, building societies and other institutions which hold any assets
Valuing the estate
Settling any debts, assuming sufficient funds are available
Distributing assets as set out in the deceased's Will
Calculating and paying the inheritance tax bill (if applicable)
These subjects can appear complicated, but our solicitors will discuss them with you in plain English so that you have a complete understanding of the legal process. We will then settle things as quickly and smoothly as possible so you can start to get your life back on track.
Our team can also help you write or update your Will, advise what to do in cases where no Will has been left (intestacy), and assist with Power of Attorney.
If you are ready to write your Will, or need our assistance settling the affairs of a loved one, speak to our team in confidence today. You can reach us directly using the telephone number below, or enter your details into the form to the right and we will call you back.
