Eltham Probate Solicitors

Probate is the legal process of dealing with somebody's assets after they have passed away. The executor of the will is usually named to complete Probate and ensure that assets are divided accordingly.

 

If you are instructed to complete Probate on an Estate, you are legally responsible for making sure that all debts are settled and any necessary Inheritance Tax is paid. Currently, the threshold for Inheritance Tax is £325,000, however there are many factors involved in calculating the tax owed, including lifetime gifts.
