When someone dies, there are legal steps that must be taken to deal with their estate. This process is known as an executry and can feel unfamiliar and overwhelming, particularly at a time of loss. Hastings Legal supports Executors and families by providing clear advice and handling the legal work involved in administering an estate. Whether there is a Will in place or not, our executry team works carefully and sensitively to guide you through what needs to be done. We can assist with obtaining Confirmation, dealing with property and financial assets, settling debts and liabilities, and ensuring the estate is distributed in accordance with the Will or the rules of intestacy.
