We Pay Funerals Fee
“We pay funeral fees” is a service provided by Curtis Legal Ltd. who specialise in advising clients in relation to probate and estate administration.
With highly experienced lawyers in this field, they provide free, professional and practical advice answering any questions you may have following the death of a loved one.
When someone has died, to realise their assets and pay any debts you need to apply for a document that gives you the authority to act on their behalf. This is known as the grant of representation. When there is a will, it will appoint executors to act and these are the people who have to apply for a grant of probate to administer the estate.
If you require assistance with estate administration, Curtis Legal offer a complete estate administration service for a competitive fixed fee so you know the total costs involved before any work is carried out on your behalf. The service provided cannot be beaten and can include meeting with you at your home to discuss matters free of charge or obligation.
As testament to the service Curtis Legal provide their largest source of work is from personal recommendation.
