Estate administration

Administering decedent estates – including taxes and duties

We administer all types of estates.

We advise on the tax implications of the various forms of estate administration, and on the conditions under which an estate can become tax-free. We also advise on the valuation of estate assets, which is of importance for estate tax purposes, and on the tax consequences of transferring an asset to a beneficiary versus selling it to a third party.

We make it an essential part of our advice to do what we can to avoid conflict within the family if at all possible.
