Wills and Probate Solicitors in Orpington
Wills and probate solicitors handle estate planning and the administration after death. They draft wills, prepare lasting powers of attorney and set up trusts for children or relatives who need protection. Inheritance tax planning covers the nil-rate band, the residence nil-rate band and lifetime gifts.
After a death, 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. Executors who start the work themselves can hand it to a solicitor at any stage. A grant already issued in the executors’ names stays valid and can still be used on their behalf. Solicitors then correct any errors, 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 end in agreement.
Orpington lies near the Kent border in the London Borough of Bromley, where the River Cray rises. Wills and probate solicitors in Orpington can draft wills, plan for inheritance tax and handle probate. Firms in Petts Wood and Bromley also take on this work.
