Estate Administration
Dealing with the financial affairs of someone who has died can be upsetting for family members at such a difficult time. As professionals, we can deal with all aspects of administering a deceased person’s estates including:
-
Liaising with all interested parties such as banks, life assurance companies, building societies, utility companies or private individuals with a view ensuring all monies due to the estate are collected in a timely manner and that all debts are paid prior to distribution
-
Contacting the DWP with regards to benefit over and under payments
-
Filing tax returns with the Inland Revenue
-
Preparation of estate accounts to show all monies collected and paid out of the estate
-
Distribution of estates under the rules of intestacy, or according to the deceased’s wishes where a will has been left
How do we charge?
Our fees reflect the work undertaken on a case by case basis, as some estates are more complex than others. However our fees are significantly less than those charged by most solicitors and banks.
