Probate

Also referred to as Inheritance Tax.

This is a very important area of our service. It involves the appraisal of effects to satisfy the requirements of probate law. As with insurance valuations we prepare a detailed inventory and valuation enumerating all items of importance and any specific bequests.

In the event of executors or beneficiaries wishing to dispose of some or all of the chattels involved in an estate, then Gorringes provides a complete sales service. We will arrange collection of the pieces concerned, ensure their inclusion in the appropriate sale or sales, advise on reserves where necessary and pay out the proceeds promptly within two weeks of the sale date.
