Talking about the end of life is never easy, but you’d like to know your final wishes were granted, wouldn’t you?
At Equiniti (EQ), we understand that when someone close to you dies it can be difficult working out what to do and in what order, especially if it’s the first time you have had to deal with legal issues following a death. That's why we have created Equiniti End of Life Services which is there to give you all the practical support that you need in relation to managing an estate, when you need it.
Dealing with a loved one’s estate can be a difficult task as there are many factors to consider that can be both complex and time-consuming. While some families prefer to do this work themselves, many prefer to appoint a legal professional to manage the process for them. EQ offer services that allow you to manage and control the estate of your loved one in the way you want, giving you the practical support you need, when you need it.

By appointing EQ, we will give you full peace of mind that all aspects of the estate will be managed legally, quickly, and with the full interests of the beneficiaries at the centre of everything that we do.
We will take care of financial, tax, legal, and other personal matters such as:

Our service is based on a fixed fee, meaning that you know what the costs of managing the estate are from the very beginning. Furthermore, if you appoint us to administer the estate, our fee and any third party costs are taken directly from the estate meaning that there are no upfront costs to you.
For more information please read our brochure or call us on 0371 384 2793.
There are a few things that you need to consider before you begin:
1
An Executor or Administrator has the legal authority, responsibility and duty to distribute the deceased’s estate correctly and could be held financially responsible for any mistakes made therefore it is important that you act on the latest version of a will.
If you are unsure if there was a Will, the Will you have is old or you think changes could have been made we can help you check.
If a more up-to-date version of the Will than that being used to distribute the estate comes forward after distribution or it was presumed that the deceased did not make a Will only for one to come to light after distribution, issues can arise for the Executor which include being financially responsible for correcting the distribution to wishes if the correct Will.
To help avoid issues arising for an Executor or Administrator it is vitally important when distributing an estate that the most up-to-date version is being used. In the case where a Will is not known about or cannot be found, it is advisable to have taken steps to confirm that a Will does not exist. Therefore before an estate is distributed, the Law Society recommend a Certainty Will Search provided by The National Will Register, to search for both registered Wills and Wills that have not been registered.
As a legally endorsed and recognised best practice, Certainty Will Search offers great protection against an unknown or later Will coming to light after the estate has been distributed. Following a Certainty Will Search an Executor or Administrator should retain the Will Search report received as it validates reasonable steps were taken to search for an unknown Will or most up-to-date version of the Will before proceeding with distribution.
