Get AdviceExpert Help with Probate
Probate is the legal and financial process of dealing with the property, money, and possessions (the 'Estate') of a person who has died.
Being named as an Executor in a Will is a significant responsibility. You are legally liable for identifying all assets, paying any debts and taxes (including Inheritance Tax), and distributing the remainder to the beneficiaries according to the Will.
At Hetts, our Probate department is led by Natalie Beech. We understand that this responsibility can feel overwhelming, especially whilst grieving. Natalie and her team can handle as much or as little of the administration as you wish, removing the burden from your shoulders.
Why use a solicitor?
Mistakes in calculating estate value or Inheritance Tax can lead to personal liability for Executors.
By instructing Natalie Beech at Hetts, you ensure that the estate is administered correctly, tax-efficiently, and in full compliance with the law, preventing potential disputes between beneficiaries.
How We Can Help
We offer flexible levels of service tailored to the complexity of the estate and your needs.
Grant Only Service
If you are happy to handle the day-to-day administration (collecting funds, paying bills) but find the legal paperwork daunting, we can simply obtain the Grant of Probate for you. Once obtained, you take over the administration.
Full Estate Administration
We handle everything from start to finish. This includes valuing assets, contacting banks, calculating and paying Inheritance Tax, selling property, settling debts, preparing estate accounts, and distributing funds to beneficiaries.
Intestacy & Complex Estates
If there is no Will, or if the estate involves complex assets, business interests, or foreign property, our specialist solicitors have the expertise to navigate the strict rules of intestacy and complex tax laws.
