Whitehaven Probate Solicitors

Our Whitehaven probate solicitors are here to help if you need legal advice following the death of a loved one. We understand that if you require the use of our services you will be going through a difficult time, which is why we regard a sensitive approach to be just as important as a professional one.

There are several stages involved in completing probate and it is our goal to shoulder as much of this burden as possible on your behalf, so you can concentrate on putting your life back together again.

A few of these stages are outlined below. We will;

 Contact building societies, banks or other organisations which hold any assets

 Value the Estate

 Settle any debts

 Calculate the Inheritance Tax bill

 Allocate the assets as set out in the Will

Our probate solicitors can also advise what to do in situations where no Will has been left (intestacy) and help with Power of Attorney.

Whatever situation you find yourself in, call our team who will be happy to offer you a quote for our services and talk you through the process.

Wills

Writing a Will is quick and straightforward, and having one gives you the peace of mind knowing your loved ones have been cared for to the best of your ability, should the worst happen to you.

If you die without leaving a Will it can mean a lot of unnecessary hard work and expense for the people you leave behind. Below are a few other reasons you might want to think about writing yours;

 Cohabiting couples do not otherwise automatically inherit as married couples or civil partners do

 You can ensure close friends or important charities do not miss out

 With some planning it may be possible to mitigate your Inheritance Tax bill
