Estates

We at McColm Matsinger Lawyers have the expertise to be able to assist Executors of Wills to effectively and efficiently carry out their required Estate administration duties. These obligations can sometimes be a complex and time consuming. It is necessary to first accurately  ascertain the assets and liabilities of the Estate, ascertain whether a Grant of Probate is required, realise the assets where necessary or transfer the assets to the beneficiaries where required, attend to payment of the debts of the deceased, finalise the taxation affairs of the deceased and then attend to a distribution of the residue of the Estate to the beneficiaries under the Will.

We cannot remove the pain of loss but we can facilitate a smooth and efficient administration of the Estate by attending to all necessary matters in an experienced and no fuss manner.
