Dealing with bereavement can be very stressful and difficult. Our friendly and approachable

the deceased's affairs.
Probate and Estate Planning
When someone dies their estate needs to be distributed, hopefully in accordance
with their wishes if they have made a Will, or if a Will has not been made, then
the estate will have to be distributed pursuant to the current intestacy rules.
We can deal with these steps for you, from obtaining a Grant (this is the document
which allows us to deal with the estate) to realising the assets and then paying
debts. The remainder of the estate is then distributed to any beneficiaries.
Estate planning is relevant to almost anyone owning their own home. We at Millbank
Solicitors can help organise your affairs so as to eliminate or minimise any potential
tax liability and ensure that your affairs are handled in the manner that you want
them to be.
Our Probate solicitors take a pro active approach and encourage our clients to plan
their affairs in a manner which enables them to pass their assets to their chosen
beneficiaries with ease and the minimum burden to the estate and the beneficiary
of the estate.
Our probate expertise extends from the preparation of wills to acting as Executors
and Administrators, planning for and advising on actual and potential tax consequences
of the disposition of an estate.
We also have experience of advising clients who own assets abroad and can assist
and advise on how the laws of different countries will interact and the tax implications
that arise in these circumstances.
