Castleford Probate Solicitors

Suffering a bereavement is hard, and our Castleford probate solicitors understand that dealing with lawyers is not at the top of anyone's wish list at this difficult time. However, it is a fact of life that there are legal matters to deal with when somebody close to you passes away.

Our legal team make it their priority to complete as much of the legal legwork as possible on your behalf, so you can focus on getting your life back on track.

We will;

 Inform banks and other organisations which hold any assets

 Value the Estate

 Settle any debts, assuming there are sufficient funds available

 Calculate the inheritance tax bill, where applicable

 Allocate the assets as set out in the Will

Our Castleford probate solicitors can also advise what to do in cases where no Will has been left (intestacy), assist with Power of Attorney, and guide you through updating or writing a Will.

We always encourage our clients to write a Will, as dying without leaving a valid document can mean a lot of unnecessary hard work for those you leave behind.

Below are some of the reasons you might want to consider writing yours;

 You can decide who gets what. Without a Will this privilege goes to the government

 Unmarried couples do not automatically inherit as married couples or civil partners do

 You can state who you wish to look after your children, should the worst happen to you

 With careful planning it may be possible to mitigate your inheritance tax bill

Whether you need our assistance administering the Estate of a loved one, or you are ready to write a Will, our Castleford probate solicitors will handle your case with the respect and sensitivity it deserves.
