Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a will if I only own land?

Yes. Without a will, land can end up divided between several relatives.

What if the land is not properly registered?

We can deal with title issues as part of the estate or transfer.

How long does probate take?

Usually nine to twelve months.

Do beneficiaries pay inheritance tax?

It depends on their relationship to the person who died and the value they receive. We advise each beneficiary on their position.

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.
