Probate - What to do when someone dies

When someone dies, whether they have made a Will or not, there are certain procedures that need to be undertaken. Many of you will have been through the probate process before and have some understanding of what is required, although you may still need some advice and assistance to help you through the more complex procedures.

We know that dealing with a person's financial affairs after their death can be complicated and time-consuming. In many cases the deceased person's family are the ones left to deal with their affairs. After losing a family member, it can be difficult to focus on what needs to be done next.

If you are an Executor appointed in a Will, you may be unsure what your role is and what you need to do to complete the administration of the estate in accordance with the rules and regulations that apply.

In Spring 2012, Purdys will be joined by Louisa Bromilow. She is a member of Solicitors for the Elderly and has many years of experience with bereaved families, Executors and Administrators. Louisa is able to help you through the difficult and sometimes complex times ahead.

“Helping you through the administration process.”


Most administration costs are met from the deceased's estate and will not need to be met by any family member, Executor or Administrator. Our costs will be tailored to your needs and will be discussed and agreed with you in advance, so that you are fully aware of precisely what services the estate will be paying for. It may be that you are happy to do some of the legwork and just want help with the more complex bits. We don't charge a percentage of the value of the estate, as we feel that it is more fair to charge you only for work we actually carry out for you.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact , who will be able to help you.
