Why use an accountant for probate?
Traditionally, probate solicitors have generally dealt wiith estate matters. But in 2014 a change in the law allowed chartered accountants to offer probate services, regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) .
As a long-established, trusted accountancy firm, our probate services complement the work that we already do. The task of gathering, processing and recording financial information is our area of expertise. We have processes, technology and efficient staffing structures in place to do this in the most cost effective and timely way possible.
Dealing with probate and administration is a very natural extension of what we have always done.
Cost effective and approachable
Using our existing working processes and applying them to probate and estate administration gives significant cost savings over existing providers. In addition, where we provide these service for the personal representatives deceased clients, there are additional savings because we already have a lot of the information we need to begin the process of applying for probate and administering their estate. As accountants, we are used to seeing our clients year on year. We develop long standing relationships and to do this, we need to be responsive approachable and cost effective. We think these qualities are what is needed when someone has lost a loved one and wants guidance and reassurance as well as professionalism and technical expertise.
