It is a difficult and challenging time.
Despite the immense emotional loss, there are a range of legal issues which need urgent attention and cannot be overlooked. It is not unusual to feel overwhelmed as to how to proceed further on the legal issues.
The entire process is complex, and is full of technicalities. This tedious task can be made easy by our experienced and professional staff.
Family members underestimate the time and effort involved in preparing the legal paperwork for the Grant, dealing with the Supreme Court and fulfilling the other legal requirements.
There are strict rules which have to be followed. Improper paperwork raises requisitions from the Court. This can result in a delay in finalizing the estate.
The law casts overwhelming obligations on the Executor(s) and the Administrator(s) and exposes them to liability in the event of an error.
We assist with regard to the estate of the deceased promptly and with minimal delays. It makes sense for a professional to handle the matter and get it right the first time.
Avoid stress and allow us to help you.
Our fixed fee service ensures that there are no surprises during an already difficult time.
