HOW CAN NEWSTEAD & WALKER HELP ME?
There are various option which can be tailored towards your needs but our most popular offerings are:
- Obtaining the Grant of Probate / Letters of Administration only – this is an instruction limited to preparing the type of application required and submitting the application to HMRC and / or the Probate Registry. This instruction relies on you gathering together the necessary information and using the Grant thereafter to collect in assets and finalise the estate.
- Estate Administration – this is a much more comprehensive service where we would usually deal with entire the estate on your behalf. This would involve contacting all financial institutions, obtaining the Grant of Probate / Letters of Administration, collecting in all assets and settling liabilities as well as liaising with Beneficiaries. Estate monies would be paid into our client account, and we would deal with the distributions in accordance with the Will / intestacy. Please note, this service does not include fees for any additional work e.g. Deeds of Variation or conveyancing work in connection with the estate which would be separate instructions.
