Estate Administration

Whether you have lost a family member or friend, bereavement is a difficult time; a time when you need help and guidance on what happens next. You will probably have many questions, including how debts and funeral expenses can be paid from the estate and what happens to jointly owned property or bank accounts.

Administering an estate often includes dealing with the Probate Registry, Land Registry and Inland Revenue with set rules and procedures that must be followed, whether a Will was left or not. For those who are not conversant with the law, this represents an arduous task. Most families need help and guidance.

We are here to help

Our Advisers are conversant with not only the legal issues, but also the practical issues a family face with the loss of a loved one. Our aim is to share our collective experience of assisting thousands of families with you and discreetly discuss the duties you face at a time when you are least prepared to deal with them.

We are committed to ensuring our clients are cared for and updated every step of the way.

We ensure our charging structure is crystal clear, with no hidden extras.

Our charges are as follows and are capped maximums, with a fixed fee quote* provided on request:

1.5% of the first £500,000

1% of the next £500,000

0.75% of every £500,000 thereafter

There is no cost per asset, per beneficiary, per call or per letter. We don’t charge an hourly rate so you are not penalised every time you wish to discuss an issue with your Case Manager. What we will do is provide you with a fixed fee, at the beginning, in writing, which will be based on a combination of the value of the estate and the anticipated work involved. Fees are collected from the estate and are not payable by the family (unless requested or an insolvent estate).
