Probate Services
In the difficult times we’re currently living through there may be a temptation to put off dealing with things that make us feel uneasy, particularly where there are no obvious pressing time limits. Losing a loved one is bad enough at a normal time, but the additional challenges for bereaved families during the coronavirus crisis have been unthinkable.
It is understandable that you might want to delay obtaining the grant of probate and dealing with the estate administration until things have returned more to normal. We quite understand that. However inheritance tax is still due six months after the end of the month of death and the inheritance tax return is due one year the end of the month of death. You will also need a grant to transfer money and assets to the beneficiaries in most cases.
We can reassure you that we remain open to new probate cases and that we can carry out meetings remotely, using zoom. Any records that need to be delivered in person will be dealt with in a manner that observes social distancing rules.
