What we offer
Helping you through difficult times
Coping with the death of a close family member or friend is understandably difficult and our team of estate administration and probate lawyers are here to help ease your concerns.
The process
At a time of loss there are a number of practicalities which need to be dealt with and the estate administration process needs to be started. Some of these practicalities need dealing with more quickly than others, such as finding the will, checking the person’s funeral wishes and assessing who should take overall responsibility for the estate.
How our estate administration and probate lawyers can help
Our role is to assist the personal representatives with these immediate practicalities and leave them feeling relieved by easing the burden during this emotional time. Our team makes sure that we guide people carefully through the estate administration process.
We can either undertake specific tasks to assist the executors in their duties or deal with the estate entirely. Our services include:
- Advising executors after a death
- The administration of an estate
- Advising on the intestacy rules when there is no will
- Assisting with the application for a Grant from the Probate Registry
- Advising beneficiaries
- Assessing and advising on any claims against the estate
- Acting as an executor
- Deeds of variation
