If you have suffered a loss it can be a difficult and emotional time.  Our friendly and approachable team of solicitors at Miller Sands, Ryan Hawthorn and Katharine Barkas are here to help you deal with the complex legal issues surrounding the death.

They have an excellent reputation for providing expert advice and they are always ready to listen carefully to your concerns.  They can assist you with all the steps required to settle the affairs of a deceased person including:
  • identifying and valuing assets and liabilities
  • preparing the inheritance tax account
  • arranging for the release of funds to pay the inheritance tax and if necessary negotiating a bank loan for this purpose
  • preparing the papers leading to the Grant of Representation
  • cashing assets
  • paying off liabilities
  • dealing with all tax issues
  • preparing accounts
  • making distributions
  • preparing a Deed of Variation changing the distribution under the deceased’s Will

Ryan and Katharine recognise the importance to the beneficiaries of obtaining the Grant quickly so that assets may be realised and distributions made.
