Administering an estate after someone’s death can be complex and time consuming, but we can ease the burden at what could be a difficult time.
When a person dies, their legal, financial and personal tax affairs must be dealt with. This process, known as estate administration, can be complex, requiring detailed knowledge of taxation and legal matters, and the penalties for getting it wrong can be significant.
All the deceased’s assets have to be dealt with, including property, possessions, investments, debts and other expenses. It might also be necessary to notify beneficiaries, deal with income tax liabilities, calculate and pay inheritance tax, take care of specialist legal work, and more. In short, it’s rarely a simple task for the uninitiated, and you should be wary of attempting to handle it alone.
