Once we undertake the necessary research, we are then able to obtain quotes from partnered insurance companies for ultimate protection to executors, administrators and beneficiaries against a claim being made on the estate by any unknown part of the family; after it has been distributed
This research helps to cover all eventualities, such as, unknown or untraced heirs coming forward at a later date, illegitimate descendants or family members who have immigrated to countries with limited records. It also provides reassurance that you are protected from unpredictable events and that the estate funds are secure once successfully distributed.

This provides a quick and efficient way to obtain the documents and certificates you need when working a case.
If someone dies after 9th October 2007, it’s possible to transfer any unused portion of a deceased spouse or civil partner’s inheritance tax, also known as Nil Rate Band. We can establish whether some or all of the value of a gift, a death estate or assets held within a trust is subject to a zero rate of inheritance tax.
We can help to prove transferability of a Nil Rate Band allowance by sourcing documentation as evidence, in relation to the Finance Act (2008).
To qualify, HMRC requires executors or personal representative of the second spouse or civil partner to produce documentary evidence to prove they predeceased them.
We can obtain the predeceased partner’s death certificate, probate and marriage certificate in a quick and efficient way. We can help you bypass the time consuming task of search through public records.
