FAQs

Your questions answered. Take a look at some our frequently asked questions for more Information.

What does an executor have to do?
An Executor is the deceased’s legal representative after their death. They are responsible for carrying out the deceased’s instructions as per their Will. The Executors make arrangements for the funeral, determine whether Inheritance Tax is due and may have to apply for a Grant of Probate They should sell the deceased’s assets and pay off the liabilities. Then they pay the inheritance to the Beneficiaries named in the Will. This process is called “administering the Estate”. The Executors should prepare a set of “Estate Accounts” which is a document that provides a financial overview of the administration of the Estate.
Once I’ve made a Will do I need to make any changes to it in the future?
It is very important to ensure that your will and other will related aspects are kept as up-to-date as possible to ensure that your wishes are carried out in line with the new changes and that any alterations to your estate are correctly listed.
What is a codicil?
Codicil are addendums to wills. They are useful for minor changes to wills, such as updating names of beneficiaries after a marriage or divorce.
What happens if you die without making a Will?
If you die before you write a will (called dying “intestate”), or your Will fails because it has not been prepared correctly, then the law sets out who will inherit your assets according to a strictly ranked list of relatives. This may result in your family paying more Inheritance Tax at the time of your death than necessary and a distribution of your assets which does not reflect your wishes. If you don’t have any family, then ultimately the Crown would receive your assets.
