Did you know that when you administer someone’s estate as executor or administrator, you may be liable for claims from beneficiaries you were not aware of to debtors you did not know existed, when distributing the estate?

At Ziadies we can help you, the Executor/Administrator or, avoid such pitfalls. We can ensure that you are fully protected against claims from potential beneficiaries you were not aware of at the time of distribution of the estate, by arranging for statutory notices to be placed correctly.

Our experienced Solicitors will assist you through what can be a difficult process every step of the way, ensuring always that you are fully protected against any claims. In the unlikely event that litigation commences, we have the experience to advise you fully.

We can also help you administer the estate, by collecting in all the relevant information regarding the deceased’s assets and liabilities and thereafter ensuring that all the necessary steps are properly carried out: including payment of any inheritance tax liability, arrangements for the sale or transfer of any property, and the distribution of the estate.
