What is often less understood is that a deceased estate can also include outstanding debts and liabilities. These obligations do not disappear on death and must usually be dealt with before the estate can be distributed to beneficiaries.
Managing a deceased estate can be complex and emotionally challenging. While dealing with the loss of a loved one, families and executors are often required to navigate legal processes, documentation, and time-sensitive decisions.
Obtaining Probate where a valid Will exists
Applying for Letters of Administration where no Will is in place
Administering estates and ensuring assets are distributed in accordance with legal requirements
Assisting executors to carry out their duties efficiently and correctly
Advising beneficiaries on their rights and entitlements
