How It Works
1. Understand the objective: We first establish whether you are planning ahead, changing existing arrangements or dealing with an estate.
2. Gather the right information: We provide a focused list of the documents and details needed, avoiding unnecessary paperwork where possible.
3. Carry out the legal work: The team prepares documents or progresses the probate and administration tasks included in your instruction.
4. Close the loop: We explain what has been completed, what records to keep and whether anything further should be considered.
Frequently Asked Questions – Lancaster
What if I do not have all the documents yet?
You can still contact us. Start with what you know and what documents you have. We can then identify what is missing, what is important immediately and what can be gathered as the matter progresses.
Can you help with inheritance-tax paperwork and estate accounts?
Where these are required as part of the agreed probate or estate-administration service, we can help gather the information, prepare the relevant paperwork and explain the figures and next steps.
Can you help with inheritance-tax paperwork and estate accounts?
Sometimes, but the right approach depends on the changes you want to make. We can review the existing arrangements and advise whether a new Will or another form of update is more appropriate.
Do I need a Grant of Probate in every estate?
No. Whether a grant is needed depends on the assets, how they are owned and the requirements of the organisations holding them. We can review the position before an unnecessary application is made.
Can you help with Lasting Powers of Attorney?
Yes. We can help with Property and Financial Affairs LPAs, Health and Welfare LPAs, or both, and explain the choices involved before the documents are prepared and registered.
