Wills & Probate

Contact: Ann Stevens, Sunjeet Banning

The importance of making a Will cannot be overstressed. Each Will is tailor-made for the client, taking into consideration his or her personal financial circumstances, family and commitments, taxation and in particular inheritance tax.

After a death it is important to those who are left behind that the estate is administered with sympathy as well as with efficiency. It involves obtaining valuations of all the assets of the estate, agreeing the tax liability, applying for the Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration in the event that there is no Will) and then with that authority gathering in the assets of the estate and administering them according to the Will or according to law as the case may be.
