Wills and Probate Solicitors in Horley

When inheritance tax is owed, at least part of it must usually be paid before the grant of probate can be issued. This creates a challenge because the estate’s funds are typically frozen until the grant is obtained. Many banks and building societies will release funds directly to the tax authorities through a direct payment arrangement. Tax on land and buildings can often be paid in yearly instalments, and interest accrues on any late payments.
