Estate Management

When someone passes away, their estate must be managed by either executors appointed under their Will or administrators entitled under the intestacy rules. Estate management involves more than just obtaining a Grant of Representation. It is a comprehensive process of handling the deceased’s legal and tax matters to ensure the estate is appropriately managed. This includes essential tasks from registering the death to distributing assets in accordance with the Will or intestacy rules. The estate management process can often be an extremely stressful and upsetting time for those involved. Let us help relieve some of the burden, we provide comprehensive advice and assistance every step of the way to ensure that the estate management process is handled correctly.
