Wills and Probate Solicitors in New Milton
Wills and probate solicitors help people plan for the future and help executors once someone has died. They draft wills, prepare lasting powers of attorney and set up trusts. A life insurance policy written in trust pays out to the trustees rather than the estate, which can keep it outside inheritance tax and speed up payment. Planning also covers the nil-rate bands and lifetime gifts.
When someone dies, solicitors identify each policy and claim from the insurers. Policies not held in trust form part of the estate. Solicitors value the estate, report it for inheritance tax and apply for the grant of probate. Without a will, the estate needs letters of administration instead. The intestacy rules then decide who inherits. Solicitors collect the assets, pay debts and distribute the estate. A deed of variation can change who inherits within two years of the death, and many will disputes are resolved through mediation.
