Estate Administration

We can advise on how best to maximise tax reliefs during the period of administration.

This may include claiming agricultural and/or business property relief on farming estates, or estates that include business assets or an interest in a business. It may also involve disposing of or transferring assets in a manner that seeks to minimise an estate’s exposure to income tax and/or capital gains tax liabilities during the period of administration, or which makes use of loss relief (for example, on the sale of shares or property that have gone down in value within a permitted period of time following the deceased’s death). Where appropriate we work closely with accountants, surveyors and financial advisors to ensure the best possible outcomes are achieved.
