Dealing with the Estate of a loved one after their death is never easy. Our Northampton probate solicitors do whatever they can to make the process as easy as possible.
It is possible with sufficient time, knowledge and effort, to complete the probate process yourself, but most people find it is more than worthwhile enlisting the help of a lawyer to deal with the matter.
Below are just some of the actions our experts regularly carry out;
Obtaining the Will
Contacting any organisations which hold the individuals' assets, for example banks and building societies
Valuing the Estate and calculating the Inheritance Tax bill
Settling any debts, assuming there are sufficient funds available
Distributing the assets, as stated in the Will
Advising what to do in cases where no Will has been left (intestacy)
We can also assist with Power of Attorney.
Whatever your situation, our professional, sensitive Northampton solicitors are ready to help. Call our team today for more information.
Wills
Our solicitors always recommend that their clients write a Will. Doing so may seem unimportant now, but leaving a Will saves family and friends a lot of stress should anything happen to you.
Below are a few reasons you might want to think about writing yours;
You can decide who should get what. If no Will is left, the government will make this decision
Cohabiting couples do not otherwise inherit automatically as married couples or civil partners do
It is a chance to state who you wish to look after children or dependents after your death
It is possible to minimise your Inheritance Tax bill
When you are ready to write or update yours, our Northampton probate solicitors are ready to guide you through the process.
