Understanding Estate Administration in London

Estate administration includes all legal steps to handle a deceased person’s affairs. Whether or not a will exists, the estate must be managed in accordance with UK law.

1. Locating and Validating the Will

We start by locating and verifying the deceased’s will. If no will exists, intestacy laws apply. Our legal team ensures full legal compliance while upholding the wishes of the deceased wherever possible.

2. Applying for Probate or Letters of Administration

Depending on the case, we apply for:

• Grant of Probate (if a valid will is present)
  
  

• Letters of Administration (if no will exists)
  
  

We guide executors or next of kin through the legal steps and liaise with HM Courts & Tribunals Service for swift approval.

3. Asset Valuation and Inheritance Tax

Our estate lawyers work with financial experts to accurately value all assets, from property and pensions to shares and savings. We handle all Inheritance Tax (IHT) obligations, ensuring legal compliance and exploring opportunities to mitigate tax liabilities.

4. Settling Debts and Distributing Assets

Once liabilities are settled, we facilitate legal asset distribution based on the will or statutory laws, ensuring a fair, efficient outcome for all beneficiaries.
