When someone dies and they have left a Will, it is important to follow several steps to ensure the contents and wishes laid out in the Will are followed and completed.
Wills and probate solicitors in North Wales will support in sorting out the details of dealing with a death and the consequent reading of a Will.
For example, the usual advice is to notify the deceased persons doctor so they can issue a medical certificate which will state the cause of death. This can then be used to register the death if there are no unexpected or unexplained circumstances. When registering the death at a registry office, information such as the name and address of the deceased; cause of death and the date of the death will also be needed.
Once this has been done, the solicitor who produced the Will can then be approached. With the support of solicitors in Bangor, several actions should be undertaken. These will include securing any property which the deceased owned, they may also advise the executor to ensure any valuables which have been left.
Legal advisors could also recommend that a list of assets is made along with completing tasks like cancelling any subscriptions or direct debits which the person who dies may have had. Solicitors could also ask for bank statements and life insurance policies so they can apply for a grant of probate.
