Expert Advice for Administering an Estate and for Executors of Wills

Coping with bereavement requires several different kinds of help. An important part of this is assistance in dealing with the estate of the person who has died, including their finances and their property, whether or not they have left a will.

Whether the death has been sudden or expected, it is always better to get that help from someone properly qualified and experienced.

Some people try to deal with the administration of an estate themselves, but this can involve dealing with processes with which they are unfamiliar when they are already finding it hard to cope with the loss of someone close to them.

The Estate Planning Department at Poole Townsend will advise you in a sympathetic, honest and reliable way and has the systems in place to deal with things quickly and without fuss to save you becoming lost in the collection of forms that 'doing it yourself' can require.

Dealing with someone's estate carries certain legal responsibilities and it can cost more to put right any mistakes than going to a solicitor in the first place. We offer a thorough and comprehensive service, from obtaining valuations of the assets to preparing the legal documents necessary for obtaining a grant to administer an estate.

We will deal with a tax issues for you and in many cases, we will even be able to reduce Inheritance Tax Liability.
