Probate is the procedure that allows someone to take control of the estate of a deceased person. The legal procedure is briefly outlined below to show the process, and identify the places where we can help.
Executors and administrators of a will have the right to apply to the Court for a Grant of Probate, and in order to be able to apply to the Court, the deceased’s estate must be valued for inheritance tax purposes.
The deceased’s entire estate is valued based on an open market valuation and we provide a probate valuation service prior to the house clearance. This includes valuation of the house, property, personal belongings and possessions, known as “chattels” , i.e. those possessions contained in a property which are not part of the fabric of a building. An executor or administrator is required to provide an estimate of the total value of the chattels to calculate the tax liability. Chattels include furniture but not fixtures such as radiators attached to the walls as these are considered part of the fabric of the building.
Once valued, details are submitted to HM Revenue and Customs and the Probate Registry in order to obtain the Grant of Probate. This Grant of Probate allows the executors or administrators to deal with the deceased’s money, affairs, investments and property. Any outstanding debts owed by the deceased and the balance of any inheritance tax must be paid before money, investments and / or property can be distributed by the executors or administrators. Sometimes, although a named executor, some people are not prepared to deal with certain aspects of bereavement. We are one company that can help in this regard.
