We are delighted to be one of the few firms of chartered accountants licensed in the area to carry out the reserved legal activity of non-contentious probate authorised by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

There are certain protocols which need to be carried out when someone dies. Probate and estate administration are some of these and are possibly the most complex as it requires you to file legal, financial and taxation information about the deceased’s estate.

We can save you or your family time and stress in the event of a death. Our charges are based on time taken rather than a percentage of the estate which is usually charged by banks and solicitors in addition to a time charge.

Other than you, who knows more about your finances than your accountant. Please contact us to help at this difficult time.

Please refer to our fact sheets below for helpful information.
