If you feel equipped and happy to carry out executor duties yourself, but just want a helping hand preparing the legal documentation, your solicitor shouldn’t take a big slice of the estate.
That’s why brains solicitors has developed its unique Probate Support Service.
We will talk through what information you need to give to apply for probate and to open an account to deal with tax – and then based on that information, we will prepare your probate application and Inland Revenue account on your behalf, enabling you to focus on the duties you were asked to perform.
Many banks and building societies charge between 4%-6% of the whole estate for this basic service. As an executor you have the dilemma of preserving the integrity of the estate, balanced with the lesser cost of carrying out your responsibilities without the comprehensive support of a solicitor in order to save the estate money. At brains, we think that’s outrageous – and will give you the legal support you need for a fixed fee of just £1000, giving you, the executor, the right to delegate.
The Probate Support Service gives you the peace of mind that you are legally watertight, without paying over the odds. brains have all the expertise in-house - which means no third party involvement - no extra costs to you! Click here to get the ball rolling.
