What is Estate Administration?
The process is rarely straightforward, which is why at a time of grieving, it’s best to let a specialist Solicitor handle matters.
Estate administration first means obtaining the grant of probate before finalising and dealing with someone’s assets, including property, investments and possessions, as well as their legal and tax affairs, including bank accounts, paying inheritance tax and any outstanding debts before distributing to the beneficiaries of the estate. It can also include services as varied as:
• Finding new homes for pets.
• Cancelling utilities.
• Advising beneficiaries on tax implications.
• Notifying the postal service.
• Valuing and selling property in Solihull, Knowle and Dorridge.

What is Probate?
Before we can begin the administration of an estate, we have to apply for a grant of probate. They are needed if an estate is worth over £5,000, if the property was in the name of a single person, or if a bank requires the grant of probate to release the estate’s funds.
