Probate with Russell Evans Rahaman: what's included

Verification of will

Before starting we check that the will is valid and meets the legal requirements before a Grant of Probate can be obtained.

Collating schedule of assets and liabilities

We start making enquiries with necessary third parties to determine a full list of assets and liabilities of the deceased and value the estate for probate.

Tax forms and calculations

The necessary inheritance tax calculations are computed and the relevant forms are submitted to HM Revenue and Customs.

Grant of Probate

Once the estate is valued, we draft and file the application for a Grant of Probate on behalf of the executors.

Calling in assets

We assist the executors in calling in the worldwide assets of the deceased to have control over its distribution.

Distribution

Russell Evans Rahaman will distribute the assets in line with the will and discharging the duties of the executors.
