Losing someone is never easy. On top of grief, there are often complex legal, financial, and tax matters to manage. That’s where we come in.
At Convey Us Legal, we offer sensitive and efficient estate administration services to help you settle a loved one’s affairs with confidence. Whether the estate is simple or more involved, we guide you through every legal step — from applying for probate to distributing assets and finalising tax matters.
What Is Estate Administration?
Estate administration is the legal process of dealing with someone’s property, money, debts, and personal belongings after they pass away.
This usually involves:
- Gathering information on assets and liabilities
- Applying for a Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration if no Will exists)
- Paying debts and Inheritance Tax (if applicable)
- Distributing the estate according to the Will or intestacy rules
- Preparing final estate accounts
Do I Need a Solicitor?
Administering an estate can be legally complex and emotionally overwhelming. Appointing a solicitor ensures:
- The Will (if there is one) is correctly interpreted
- Tax is accurately calculated and paid
- Executors are protected from personal liability
- Beneficiaries receive what they’re legally entitled to
- The process is handled promptly and with care
