PROBATE SOLICITORS IN SUTTON COLDFIELD
When you experience the unfortunate loss of a loved family member, the reality of dealing with the left behind estate can be very daunting and overwhelming. It can also take significant time and get complex, depending on how big the estate is that has been left. Eddowes, Perry & Osbourne Solicitors are one of the largest and longest established law firms in Sutton Coldfield providing probate services.
WHAT IS A PROBATE SOLICITOR?
A probate solicitor understands in depth the law surrounding what happens to a person’s estate when they die, including what happens if someone dies without a will in place. They will support you through the probate process, knowing when Wills are valid or invalidated and help you to understand the legal terms used within them and what it means in practical terms.
WHY WOULD USE A PROBATE SOLICITOR FOR ESTATE ADMINISTRATION?
Enlisting a specialised probate solicitor is a good idea to give trusted legal advice and help with all of the estate administration required to process a Will. They will help to simplify the process, knowing the correct steps to take to deal with matters quickly and efficiently.
The solicitor will take full responsibility for the administration process, so it takes it off your hands, important when needing time to grieve. It helps reduce the possibility of family disagreements over the division of assets. If parties involved are not happy with the split of money or property, they will have to go through legal channels to voice their concerns.
Many people do not realise the different taxes that have to be paid when administering someone’s estate. These can include Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, and Inheritance Tax. Tax returns for each need to be completed and our Probate Solicitors at EPO will do this, speaking with the HMRC on your behalf. They will ensure the tax calculated is accurate to avoid under or overpaying, and that they apply for relevant exceptions and reductions.
It is crucial that during the Probate process, all assets are properly managed as set out in a persons Will, and an experienced solicitor is the best way to keep track of the money going in and out. It can be a very lengthy process with many different forms to fill in, often up to a year depending on the makeup of the estate.
