When you have suffered a bereavement, dealing with lawyers may not seem like an appealing prospect, but the fact is that there is a lot of legal paperwork to be completed after a person dies. Our Shoreditch probate solicitors can help you handle the legal side of things so you can focus on coming to terms with your loss.
With enough time and hard work it is possible to complete probate yourself. However, the quantity of paperwork involved means many families feel it is worthwhile enlisting the help of a professional.
Probate relates to the process of handling a person's affairs after they have passed. Below are just a few of the steps involved;
Calculating and paying the inheritance tax bill, if applicable
Collecting and distributing the assets as set out in the Will
Dealing with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs in relation to any income tax and capital gains tax liabilities
Settling any debts, if there are sufficient funds available
Our team understand that this is a difficult time, so you can be assured of our solicitors' respect and understanding throughout the process.
