Timescale for the Application
If the deceased may have held shares, premium bonds, investment funds, or private pensions and a number of beneficiaries, or charitable gifts, and quite often a trust in the Will which adds a further layer of complication. If the deceased made gifts during their lifetime then this will also give rise to another avenue of investigation, as all gifts must be disclosed on the application papers.
Therefore, where there are any additional complicating factors then the costs will be more than those estimated above. For estates where the firm find the deceased’s affairs are not known to others and we have to investigate all the assets and liabilities ourselves then the costs will also be higher.
We can be flexible in our approach and can agree on which elements of the estate administration we will carry out on the client's behalf, and which elements of the work they can administer individually in order to keep costs to a minimum. Please therefore always contact us directly to obtain a specific estimate of our costs for dealing with particular matter.
