Our Gloucester probate solicitors understand that if you require the use of their services, you are probably going through a difficult time. This is why we consider a sympathetic approach to be just as important as a professional one.
Completing probate is a legal process which involves a lot of paperwork and several different stages.
Below are a few of the steps our lawyers will undertake;
Inform banks, building societies, and any other organisations which hold the assets
Value the Estate
Settle any debts, assuming there are sufficient funds available
Calculate the Inheritance Tax bill
Allocate the assets as set out in the Will
Although it is possible, with plenty of effort and time, to complete probate yourself, most people feel it is worthwhile enlisting the help of a solicitor. It is our goal to complete the process as independently as possible, enabling you to get on with the important job of putting your life back together.
Our specialists can also assist with Power of Attorney. Call us on the number below for more information.
Wills
Many people in Britain die without leaving a Will (intestacy). This might seem like a minor issue, but this situation can mean a lot of extra stress and expense for your loved ones when you die.
Here are a few more reasons you might want to think about writing yours;
You can decide who gets what, otherwise the government will make this decision
If you are cohabiting, you can ensure your partner will definitely be entitled to something
You can state who you wish to look after any children in the event of your death
With careful planning it might be possible to mitigate your Inheritance Tax bill
Our experts can talk you through how to write a Will, and inform you what you need to do to keep it up to date and valid.
