Estates

No time can be more difficult than the passing of a loved one. With proper planning, administration of the Estate can be greatly reduced. Often the only service required is the preparation of Notarized copies of the Will and Death Certificate. But in the event that a Certificate of Appointment is required, we at MacQuarrie Whyte can help with the application process, which allows the executor to represent the Estate in financial matters. 

As Executor it is your responsibility to distribute the estate as the Will instructs, from paying for the funeral expenses and disposing of personal property, to filing of tax returns, paying the income tax and disbursing the residue of the Estate, as well as reporting to all the beneficiaries. As Executor you may be eligible for compensation from the estate. We can provide timely advice on details that need to be dealt with and prepare the necessary releases. If any of the beneficiaries opposes the Estate distribution we can prepare the necessary accounts in Court format for submission. We can walk with you through what can be daunting circumstances.

If you would like assistance after the passing of a loved one and need help from an experienced legal team, please call MacQuarrie Whyte today to book a free consultation.
