Trusts, probate and estate administration Solicitors in Cardiff, South Wales
It is a difficult time when someone close to you passes away. On top of the emotional strain, there are legal and administrative issues that need to be faced. Let Freed & Co Solicitors help to take some of the stress out of the probate process. We can help whether the deceased had a written Will or not.
If you are an executor to a Will then the responsibilities that you now have can be quite daunting. We can help you to understand and fulfil your duty as quickly and as calmly as possible.
After a death, it is important to assess the assets and debts held by the deceased and ensure that the assets are all collected, the debts are paid and the remainder distributed to those entitled under the terms of the Will. If no Will was written then there are laws that govern this process. Freed & Co Solicitors will help throughout all of these stages and throughout the complex task of assessing and managing the distribution of the estate.
