When coming to terms with the death of a loved one, dealing with solicitors is the last thing we want to be doing. Our Preston probate solicitors do whatever they can to take the stress out of the process.
It is possible, with sufficient time, effort and knowledge, to complete probate yourself, but most people consider it more than worthwhile enlisting the help of specialists to handle the matter.
There are many stages involved in completing probate, but below are just a few of the steps our lawyers will undertake. We will;
Obtain the Will
Value the Estate
Collect any assets from banks, building societies, or other organisations
Settle any debts
Calculate the Inheritance Tax bill
Allocate the assets as set out in the Will
In short, we know how difficult this time can be, so our lawyers do whatever they can to minimise any stress and anxiety for you.
Contact us today to find out how our sympathetic, professional solicitors can help.
Wills
Writing a Will is never top of our list of priorities, but our solicitors always recommend that their clients have a valid Will.
Below are some of the reasons you might want to consider writing yours;
If you do not, the government will decide who gets what, meaning important friends or charities might miss out
Cohabiting couples do not otherwise automatically inherit as married couples would
You can state who should look after your children in the event of your death
With some planning it is possible to mitigate your Inheritance Tax bill
We can also assist with Power of Attorney.
