Estate and Probate Valuation Services
Hargreave Hale’s dedicated teams offer a fast and efficient Estate and Probate Valuation Service. We provide a comprehensive valuation within one week of receiving a probate request, or sooner if possible. We can also offer ongoing investment advice to beneficiaries or trustees.
Although at such times finances feel like the least important of your client's concerns, there are financial matters that have to legally be addressed.
We can assist the executors by providing the necessary data to calculate:
- the amount of inheritance tax payable
- the capital gains on sales made by the executor
- the value of any assets to be inherited as specified in the will, which may affect the beneficiary’s Capital Gains Tax in the future
