Probate and Estate Administration services
Relieving the heavy burden of administering an estate.
Administering an estate can be complex, overwhelming and daunting for you if you are unfamiliar with the process, particularly if you have just lost a loved one.
ZEDRA’s experienced team has the necessary expertise to handle all aspects of estate administration:
- As the professional Executor named in the Will.
- By assisting the individual Executors or administrators.
You should consider the appointment of a professional executor if your estate is complex, an impartial administration would be beneficial or it might be too much to ask of a friend or family member.
Our Services:
As professional Executor named in the Will:
- We will deal with the estate from start to finish; establish the assets and liabilities; obtain the Grant of Probate; settle any taxes due; encash or transfer assets including property; settle any debts; make payments to beneficiaries; and prepare the estate accounts.
Our Estate Assistance Service typically covers three areas but we can do as much or as little as is required:
- Obtaining the Grant of Representation (probate).
- Encashing the assets and settling the liabilities, including inheritance tax.
- Preparing the estate accounts.
