Administration of estates

Dealing with a bereavement is difficult enough. Sometimes people find themselves having to sort out a family member's or friend's estate as well. If you would like to speak to a member of our probate team in relation to the administration of an estate please call: 0845 144 1441.

They may have to arrange the funeral, go through personal papers to find out what assets and debts there may be, apply to the Probate Registry and deal with beneficiaries and other family members. Being a Personal Representative of an estate can be an onerous task. We can help by advising Personal Representatives what to do and even deal with the entire estate on their behalf.
