Advice on Complex and Problematic Estates

Administering an estate can be time consuming; it can seem overwhelming when the process is not straightforward.

The complications that can arise are wide and varied, from dealing with the estate of someone who has died abroad, lived abroad or who has assets abroad, to determining the existence of a Will and its validity. Sometimes there will be no Will and the intestacy rules will apply, causing complication and difficulty. It can be awkward to identify assets and liabilities and sometimes tax and valuation issues crop up which can be tricky to resolve. Occasionally there can be problems with beneficiaries, or it may be necessary to deal with disputes or claims against an estate.
