The most common challenges we find when winding up a deceased estate are:
There is no Will and the family does not know where to start;
No provision is made for the minor children and how their inheritance will be managed;
The existing Will is not up to date;
There is no living Will informing family members what should be done if one is on life support and there is no reasonable prospect of recovery;
The family waste precious time piecing together the estate and in many cases find essential documents are missing or simply don’t exist which leads to lengthy delays.
