Our Liverpool team is well-equipped to assist clients in the Formby area who require expert probate legal services.
When a close friend or relative passes away, you may need to apply for a Grant of Probate if you are named as the executor in the will. If there is no will, you may need to apply as the administrator to handle the estate’s administration.
Managing probate and estate administration can be overwhelming, especially during an already difficult time. Our private client team has extensive experience in handling both straightforward and complex probate applications, ensuring the process is as smooth as possible for you.
Dealing with an estate involves gathering details of the deceased’s assets, including property, savings, stocks, and shares, as well as identifying any outstanding debts, mortgages, and liabilities. Executors may also need to arrange property and share sales, settle funeral expenses, and distribute inheritances correctly. It’s important to understand that as an executor, you are financially liable for any mistakes, such as missing a beneficiary, which could mean covering the cost of errors personally.
Our Formby probate team will handle the probate application and estate administration on your behalf, ensuring all legal responsibilities are fulfilled correctly.
Probate costs vary depending on the complexity of the estate. We are happy to discuss fees and provide an estimate based on your specific needs. For a straightforward Grant of Representation application, our fee is £500 plus VAT (£100) and court fees.
