Wills and Probate Solicitors in Farnham

Gifts to charity in a will pass free of inheritance tax, and where enough of the estate is left to charity, the tax rate on the rest is reduced. Farnham is a Surrey market town on the north branch of the River Wey, at the western end of the North Downs close to the Hampshire border, overlooked by Farnham Castle. Probate solicitors draft wills that set out charitable gifts clearly, naming each charity correctly and saying whether it receives a fixed sum or a share of the residue. After a death they value the estate, report it for inheritance tax, apply for the grant of probate and collect the assets before paying debts and distributing what remains. Where charities are beneficiaries, the solicitor keeps them informed and provides estate accounts at the end. Lasting powers of attorney are prepared too. Firms in GU9 and GU10 serve the town, and the listings reach Horsham. The wills and probate solicitors in Farnham shown below take on this work.
