Chartered Accountants
Moore East Midlands, which has offices in Peterborough, Corby and Northampton has launched a
new Probate Service to complement their existing Trusts and Estates and Inheritance Tax planning services.
Probate services were historically only offered by solicitors, but in 2014 the law changed to allow specially accredited accountants to undertake non-contentious probate work too.
Matthew Grief who is heading up the new service, is a Chartered Tax Adviser and a member of STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners).
Matthew said: “You may not have considered using an accountant for probate services, but there are some real advantages. As accountants we have more knowledge in respect of the taxation and accountancy requirements than traditional probate practitioners. When asked to act for existing clients we already hold a significant amount of information in relation to their financial affairs which can make the whole process far less time consuming.”
Matthew added: “Our service is completely flexible. We are happy to work with you to keep costs down if you can do some of the more straightforward, administrative tasks yourself, or, if you prefer, we can handle everything on your behalf.”
Moore East Midlands is offering its new service to both existing clients and new clients. Prices start from around £1,500.
