You will require a solicitor to manage the legal and financial affairs someone dying. Their Estate will require to be wound up and this process is known as the executry administration of the deceased estate. Assets are engathered and debts paid and tax paid. Specific legacies or cash bequests are then paid out to beneficiaries. Often this is the last thing you want to have to deal with when grieving for a loved one. Peter Robertson will take responsibility for all action that needs to be taken when winding up an Estate. Contact us to discuss this whether the deceased has died leaving a will or not. We will advise you if Confirmation from the Sheriff Court is required and obtain this for you.
If a house has been left after someone dies, we are able to deal with the sale of the property for you or any subsequent transfer of title once Confirmation has been obtained form the Court.
