- Estate
-
When someone dies, their remaining assets and money are known as their 'Estate'. Any debts owed by the deceased are recoverable from the Estate. Surviving relatives are not required to pay the debts unless specifically liable, for example debts in joint names or where the relative has signed as a guarantor. Dealing with estates is often very complicated, a matter made worse by the emotional nature of the situation. For advice regarding estates please contact our advisers who will deal with your enquiry sensitively and in confidence.
