Dealing with property on death

Dealing with property on death
 

Few things are more difficult for families than dealing with the death of a relative. There are so many formalities and people you need to inform and at a time when you are often at your most emotional and vulnerable. Having to transfer or sell the home is one burden you need not have to worry about.

Having the support of a legal team that can help you not only with the property issues, but also the probate and tax planning issues can be invaluable at this difficult time. The Will needs to be interpreted and the estate administered, as well as dealing with decisions about the property.    

The opportunities for Inheritance Tax planning together with trust requirements, dependant claims and complex estates are reasons why many families choose to work with our Probate and Estate Administration team, alongside our Estate Planning, Tax and Trusts team to make sure every angle is covered and that every decision is tax efficient.   

Our Residential Property, Farms and Estates team work closely with those teams to ensure that you know all the options available to you so that you can make an informed decision. Once the grant of Probate is obtained, we will help you with the transfer of property to a beneficiary or arrange for its sale whether privately or by auction.
