Solicitors

It can be difficult enough dealing with bereavement without having to deal with the deceased’s property, possessions and personal matters. For this reason it is advisable to contact a solicitor to help with such matters

You should ascertain if the deceased made a will and consult the solicitors who hold it, to see what the deceased’s wishes were as to the funeral arrangements.

The will also discloses the names of the executors or the persons legally entitled to deal with the deceased’s estate. The solicitor will assist you with the administration of the estate and any questions relating to taxation that may arise.
