What are the steps involved in
administering an Estate?

When administering an estate, we would usually deal with the following steps:-  

• Registering the death with all relevant third parties, for example
  banks and building societies and obtaining details of all of the
  assets of the estate
• Notifying the beneficiaries in the Will of their entitlement to
  the deceased’s estate
• Obtaining the Grant of Probate to the Estate and registering
  this with the relevant third parties
• Collecting in the assets and paying any debts
• Finalising the deceased’s income tax affairs
• Preparing Estate Accounts and accounting to
  beneficiaries for their entitlements
