In association with Willplan Limited.
Dying without a Will, or “Intestate” to give it the
official title, can cause severe problems for those left behind. It will
possibly delay the issue of the grant of Letters of Administration (the
intestacy equivalent of a grant of Probate) because there are no appointed
executors to act, and in this case either family members or friends may have to
apply to the court to act in the administration of the estate. Citadel Trustees
can help in these circumstances by acting as the deceased's Personal
Representatives. The trustee will ensure that the surviving spouse or civil
partner receives their entitlement. It can advise the surviving spouse or civil
partner if a claim against the estate would be prudent if the intestacy has
failed to make adequate provision for him or her. Today with trusts and estates
becoming ever more complicated it is sensible to appoint a professional such as
Citadel to work either in a sole capacity, or to work jointly with the family.
Some trusts may be required to run for many years, and in such circumstances
this will ensure continuity in the management of the funds. This may be of
primary concern where a disabled beneficiary is involved.
Therefore whether you have been recently bereaved or are just looking
to plan for the future, Citadel can help. Through our association with
WillPlan Limited we can advise also how to go about making a will, thereby
preventing all the problems of dying Intestate. A few hundred pounds spent now
could save tens of thousands of pounds in unnecessary tax and unnecessary costs
to your family and ease the emotional stress that death places on those loved
ones left behind. Citadel can help you if:
1. You have been appointed as Executor in a Will and need help
and advice
2. A relative has died and you need some advice
3. You want to write a new will
4. You need help to form a trust specified in the will
5. You want to appoint a modern company that works with you
and always remembers to keep you updated on progress
