ADMINISTER AN ESTATE

What is estate administration?

Estate administration is the process that personal representatives go through to collect in a deceased person’s assets, discharge their liabilities and distribute the assets to the beneficiaries. The assets can include cash, bank accounts, pensions, investments, and property – together referred to as the ‘estate’.

We understand that administering a deceased loved one’s estate is a daunting task, particularly since you will be grieving their loss. Our solicitors, who are skilled in handling wills and probate, are on hand to take the weight off your shoulders as much as possible; using our legal expertise to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

The estate administration process differs depending on whether the deceased left a will or not. We can provide clear, uncomplicated advice in both scenarios, enabling you to make confident decisions about how the administration is conducted.

If an individual leaves a Will, they have appointed Executors to deal with an Estate, whereas if someone dies without a Will, the people who deal with the Estate are called Administrators.
