Selling as an Executor of a Will
An Executor of a Will is someone who is legally responsible for handling the deceased’s estate. In some cases, when someone passes away, their property needs to be sold. It is here that the Executor must take responsibility. Our lawyers will ensure that you get the best advice when you are selling as an Executor to make sure that this process is smooth for everyone involved. Before an Executor can start the process of selling it is vital to first obtain a Grant of Probate. To find out more about our Probate services please click here.
Things to consider
When buying and selling land there are many factors to consider such as, you would not have to complete the Protocol forms if you are buying or selling as a business. You would also need to fill out the CPSE forms which you would not need to do if you were selling from an individual capacity. From a company perspective you could also be subject to planning permissions. All of this can seem very daunting, which is why our very skilled conveyancers will be there for you every step of the way to ensure all necessary steps are taken to make this a smooth transaction for you.
