Probate & Administering Estates in Surrey
- Probate
The service for you and your loved ones
When a person dies somebody has to deal with their estate (money, property and possessions left) by collecting in all the money, paying any debts and then distributing what is left to those people entitled to it. Probate is the court’s authority given to the executor(s) to administer a deceased’s estate according to the deceased’s will.
If someone close to you has died intestate (without a will) or has appointed you to be the executor in their Will, there is certainly a lot to organise and it is easy to forget vital steps or become overwhelmed with the duty in hand. You may prefer to hand over the burden to a professional to handle the whole process on your behalf or you may still wish to be involved in order to retain control and keep costs to a minimum.
In 2020, Wendy set up The Surrey Probate Practice Ltd together with the partners of established accountancy firm TWP Accounting LLP, who are specialists in ‘all things tax’ and regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). Their combined expertise means that Wendy and her team are able to deliver an exceptional probate service to their respective clients.
