When someone dies without having made a will it is known as dying intestate, therefore, rules of intestacy must be followed.
Under the laws of intestacy, there is a strict legal order as to who may apply to be the administrator (equivalent of an executor) in an intestate estate. It is essential to follow appropriate legal advice to ensure you are not doing something without the correct authority.
The rules of intestacy also determine who inherits the deceased’s assets and in what proportion. Failure to administer the estate correctly can be very costly and for this reason, professional advice should always be sought.
Here at Taylor Bracewell our team have a wealth of experience in dealing with the administration of estates. Our solicitors can assist you with any part of the process and will resolve everything sympathetically and as quickly as possible to allow you to grieve without any undue stress.

Following the recent death of my husband, it has been necessary to review my side of our existing will. This has been done by Holly Law of Taylor Bracewell in the most efficient and professional manner. She has been constantly aware of every detail and advised me accordingly with perfect sympathy, patience and understanding. I would recommend Taylor Bracewell to anyone.

My husband and I recently used Taylor Bracewell to make our wills. This was through Will Aid and their service was far superior to other firms we liased with. We plan to use the company for other legal needs in the future. Thank you!

Susan really helped me understand all the details I was getting confused about due to my situation. Special thanks because this was being done before and after the Christmas break but the communication was great.

I contacted Taylor Bracewell via a free will leaflet and from the first phone call, everything moved smoothly and efficiently! They have provided me with my first will after becoming a single homeowner last summer following a divorce. First time I've had assets in my own name, hence the will!
