If you are dealing with the death of a relative or close friend, you need a solicitor who can guide you through the complex probate process with ease and minimal distress.
Our solicitors in Coventry and Kenilworth are here to alleviate that burden. When dealing with the property, money and possessions of a person, known as their estate, we provide carefully tailored advice suited to the needs of their beneficiaries.
Depending on your relationship with the person who has died and the value of their estate, you may also need to apply for a ‘grant of representation’ – known as ‘probate’. Inheritance Tax may also be payable prior to probate being granted.
A grant of representation gives you the legal right to access the person’s bank account, pay any debts, resolve unpaid utility bills and collect the ‘estate’s assets’, for example, money from the sale of the person’s property.
This will enable you to distribute the remainder of the estate to beneficiaries.
Sometimes this important task can be made more difficult because there is no Will (known as ‘dying intestate’) or somehow the Will is invalid.
At Mander Hadley, our experienced team support you through the entire process. We relieve much of the burden of dealing with a loved one’s estate by sorting out the paperwork, and corresponding with the necessary organisations on your behalf.
Our lawyers are members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and the Association of Lifetime Lawyers.
We offer a free initial meeting and free safe storage of Wills, Deeds and Powers of Attorney.
