Services - Administration of Deceased Estates

Where there is a will, Webb Thom & Associates Solicitors work with the executor to determine the quickest and most cost effective means of distributing the assets in accordance with that will. Where there is no will, we can assist in preparing the documentation for the appointment of the person who will be responsible for the distribution of the estate under the legal rules on Intestacy.

Common procedures involved in this area are:

• Obtaining Probate of will
• Obtaining Letters of Administration where there is no will
• Preparing the documents required by banks, company share registries and retirement facilities to transfer relevant assets from the deceased.
• Distributing legacies under the will
• Drafting and registering the documents required to transfer real property from the name of the deceased
• Claims under Family Provisions Act
• Deed of Arrangement for agreed alteration of will provisions by beneficiaries
