Probate and Estate Administration

Tees can help you administer the estate of someone who has died. With our experience we can take the burden off you. We can do as much, or as little, of the work as you wish and our experts are on hand to sort out any legal complexities.

What is estate administration?

Estate administration is the process of handling all the finances, assets and debts of somebody after they have died. This can be a difficult experience for a family following the death of a loved one – you’ve got enough on your hands without coping with the stress of extra work and admin.

At Tees we understand estate administration inside out, so we can sort it out which takes the pressure off you. You can ask us to do as much – or as little – as you need. Using our extensive experience, we can sort out every detail as quickly and tidily as possible, which saves you having to face it alone.

What to do if there’s no Will

If there’s no will (otherwise known as intestacy) we’ll find out who’s entitled to manage the estate and who might benefit from it. Sometimes this involves complex trust rules that govern who gets what.

What to do if you need a Grant of Probate

You might need a grant of probate. This is the process that confirms the executors’ authority to deal with the estate and get things like bank accounts sorted out. Getting a grant of probate can be time consuming and stressful, but we can prepare all the papers and apply to the court on your behalf.
