Whilst a gross value of the estate can often be obtained in a relatively short space of time, there are often many disbursements and liabilities that we are obliged to investigate and ensure are paid out of the estate. This can include payments for a funeral or overpaid benefit, as well as retrieving overpayments of care fees or rent. As a result, we will not give an exact value of the estate until we are ready to make the final disbursements to all beneficiaries. These will be issued to you in the form of a set of estate accounts sent via post (or where possible email if you are a non-UK resident) for your approval.
