Dealing with lawyers after the death of a loved one is never a welcome task, but it is one of life's necessities. Our Newquay probate solicitors make it their priority to complete the process as smoothly and sensitively as possible.
There are several stages involved in administrating an Estate. Below are a few of the steps involved. We will;
Obtain the Will
Value the Estate
Contact organisations such as banks and building societies which hold any assets
Settle any debts
Calculate the Inheritance Tax bill
Distribute the assets as directed in the Will
It goes without saying that our solicitors know how hard this time can be, and as such they will handle your case with the respect and dignity it deserves.

Wills
We always recommend that our clients write a Will.
Below are a few reasons you might want to consider doing so;
It is your chance to decide who gets what, ensuring close friends, important charities and so on don't miss out
Cohabiting couples do not automatically inherit as married couples and civil partners do
You can state who you wish to look after any children or dependents in the event of your death
With some careful planning, it is possible to mitigate your Inheritance Tax bill
Once you have written your Will it is important to keep the document updated if your circumstances undergo any major changes, for example if you get married or have children. Failure to do so could result in the Will being deemed invalid. Our lawyers will be happy to explain this to you.
Our Newquay probate solicitors can also assist with Power of Attorney.
