Help with probate and estate administration
We recognise that dealing with the legalities following a death in the family can be difficult.
We can help guide you through the process, explaining what steps need to be taken and how the deceased person’s estate will pass, either under the will or under the intestacy rules.
We can help you with all aspects of probate and estate administration and negotiate with the Revenue on your behalf. We have extensive experience in dealing with high value and foreign estates.
In the event that a claim is brought, or needs to be brought, against the estate then we will liaise with our highly specialised Estates, Trusts and Inheritance Disputes team.
We can assist you with:
- grant of probate/grant of letters of administration
- valuing the estate
- Inland Revenue forms
- applying for the grant
- disputed probate
Our service includes:
- a meeting with the person wishing to prepare an LPA (the donor) to assess that they have the requisite capacity and understand the nature of the LPA
- completion of the LPA with the donor
- acting as certificate provider – it is a requirement of the Act that an independent person certifies that the donor has capacity and is not acting under any undue influence
- obtaining the attorneys’ signatures to the LPA
- completing the registration of the LPA at the Office of the Public Guardian
