As an Executor, what does an Estates Solicitor Assist me with?
A wills and estates lawyer can assist you - as the solicitor appointed executor- by managing the administration of the probate (the assets dealt with under the will), including identifying and taking in the assets, paying the liabilities, finalising the tax returns, and paying the tax liabilities, and then finally paying out the assets as appropriate to the beneficiaries of the estate (including administrating the assets to any testamentary trusts created by the will).
Our Ascendia estate planning and probate lawyers can advise you as to what is relevant and needs to be done in your specific circumstances, and can assist you to communciate with beneficiaries, as well as, in some circumstances communicate with beneficiaries directly for you.
Practically, our estate administration lawyers can also aid in assisting family members to understand non-probate matters, such as control of assets not personally owned by the deceased (such as assets owned in trusts or companies), as well as advising family members about assets subject to mortgages and partnership agreements, and assets and liabilities of related parties controlled by the deceased.
Contact Ascendia Lawyers for more information and clarification, our experts are happy to discuss this further with you.
In some very simple circumstances you can, as an estate executor, administer an estate without needing to use the 'probate' process, and also without needing a solicitor to administer the estate. Our estate law specialists can also explain this to you too.
