Our client recently faced the challenging loss of her father, who had been living abroad. The deceased had bank accounts and other assets both in the UK and internationally. We assisted our client in obtaining the Death Certificate from abroad, enabling the commencement of the estate administration process. We then prepared the inheritance tax return in the UK and initiated proceedings in the foreign jurisdiction to identify any additional assets.
Furthermore, our client and the other beneficiaries wished to amend the will to distribute the estate more equally among family members. We facilitated this by drafting a Deed of Variation, allowing the inheritance to be distributed in a manner that met the needs of all beneficiaries.
