Estate administration

Upon the death of a relative, administering their estate is an important step to undertake. In some circumstances, this is more difficult because there is no will or it is somehow invalid. Edward Hughes Solicitors can guide you through what the right steps are.

When death happens, the assets of the deceased are distributed. This is made simple where a well drafted and up-to-date will is in place. Where there is no will or what is drafted is not legally valid, this requires an administrator. Often, this is the next of kin. If this is you, you are required to distribute the assets in accordance with the relevant laws.

At Edward Hughes, we advise you how to do this. In some circumstances, you may ask us to act as the estate administrator. Whatever your situation, we can guide you through the process. We keep things simple. We promise to keep in regular contact with you and will always use plain English.

If you need support administrating an estate and you aren’t sure what to do, let us help you find the answers. Contact Edward Hughes today by calling 01745 343661 or 01492 535640.

Wills and probate

Life is full of twists and turns and none of us can be sure what the future holds. That’s why creating a Will makes good sense. As more and more people realise the importance of making a Will, it’s no longer seen as something just for the elderly or ill but simply part of sound financial planning for any family or individual.
