Frequently Asked Questions

What if I die without a will?

Your estate passes under the rules of intestacy, which may not reflect your wishes.

Can a farm pass tax free?

Often, with agricultural relief and good planning.

How long does probate take?

Usually nine to twelve months.

What happens to jointly owned property?

Jointly owned assets usually pass automatically to the surviving owner and do not form part of the estate, though tax can still arise.

Is a homemade will valid?

It can be if it is signed and witnessed correctly, but mistakes are common and can make a will invalid or unclear.
