Sensible, measured advice and assistance
Suffering bereavement within a family is an emotional and distressing time for all those concerned. The sense of loss is often overwhelming and this becomes highlighted when trying to unravel the finances and assets of someone who has passed away. Probate is that legal process.
It can be a more complicated process than first meets the eye. Establishing the whereabouts of a Will and proving it is valid can be a considerable challenge in itself. Attitudes and lifestyles have evolved. We live in a world of increasing co-habitation where individuals and their financial affairs can often be extremely complicated. Dealing with all these scenarios, particularly with such potential variety of investments or property assets to establish can be an extremely difficult task. Establishing their correct value is fraught with potential risk.
Many estates are subject to inheritance tax and calculating the various reliefs and exemptions is not always easy.
