Probate Valuations

Overview

The death of a relative or close friend is a very difficult time for everyone involved.  Probate might be the last thing on your mind but it is important because it helps:

The Richard Winterton name is synonymous with providing a swift, efficient, professional and confidential service to executors of deceased estates.

We will ensure

We regularly receive instructions from solicitors and executors to prepare the necessary legal documentation in relation to deceased estates of all sizes and levels of complexity.

• Duplicate, clear and concise documents, (listing any specific bequests where applicable) are provided usually within seven days of the initial visit.
• Items of value can be removed swiftly to our safe storage and properties can be cleared including all items for auction and items of no value.

Fees

Fees are calculated on each individual instruction, as a guide there is an initial cost of £220 flat fee and then £125 per hour thereafter for on-site valuations; charges vary for single items – please contact us to discuss.

All charges are subject to VAT and there will be an additional charge made to cover mileage.

Our fee includes assessment of the contents on-site, preparation and checking of the documentation back at the Saleroom, (including research where necessary) and duplicate copies sending to the designated party/parties involved.
