Legacy administration covers the process of gathering and distributing a deceased person’s assets where there is a will or where there is none. A solicitor in this area helps you obtain the necessary grant of probate or letters of administration, identify and collect assets, pay debts and taxes, and distribute the estate to beneficiaries in accordance with the will or intestacy rules. They also prepare estate accounts and liaise with banks, HM Revenue & Customs, and other institutions to settle the estate.
The grant of probate or letters of administration is a decisive step that authorises the executor or administrator to deal with the deceased’s assets. A solicitor provides professional oversight, handles complex or high-value estates, and files final tax returns and estate accounts to protect the client from liability for unpaid debts.
