If there is a Will, it should state who is responsible for dealing with the deceased's estate. They are called Executors. There can be several Executors but only 4 can apply for the Grant of Probate.
Their role is to locate all assets, pay tax and debts, and distribute any remaining money, possessions and property in accordance with the Will. This process can be time consuming and stressful.
if you have been appointed as an Executor in a Will you need to consider whether you should appoint us to act on your behalf. These are some of the common things you must deal with when administering someone's estate. The list is not exhaustive.
