Executry Services

The death of a loved one is a very emotional time. We can help you with this as well as dealing with the formalities of administering the estate, which can often be complex. Estate administration can be very time consuming but our large and experienced executry department comprising Henrietta Macpherson, Michelle Ettles and Sandy Symon-More are here to help you.

There are 4 mains steps in administering an Estate where no inheritance tax is payable.

1. Obtaining information as to all assets and debts.
2. Preparing Inventory of assets to apply to the Sheriff Court for Confirmation (known as Probate in England) which is a legal document authorising the assets to be uplifted.
3. Ingathering assets and paying debts.
4. Distribution of assets to beneficiaries including any sale or transfer of property.

Where inheritance tax is payable the administration of the Estate is much more complex and our executry team are there to help you. For further information please contact a member of our team at any of our offices or complete an online enquiry form.
