Contracted this company to clear the flat of my deceased mother. Two young guys cleared EVERYTHING out of the rented property, including furniture, carpets, ornaments, white goods and food/household products, politely, efficiently, and respectfully. Excellent service.

The guys from Northern House Clearance have just cleared a house for me in Scotland. The house was packed not only with a lifetimes worth of memories, but all the clutter that goes with it. Within 2 days it was emptied down to the floorboards. A great job from a good team of lads. Highly recommended.

An excellent 5 star service. Firstly the compassion shown due to the circumstances which resulted in having to use their services, not just on the phone but by the team who arrived, on time, to perform the job. Above all a friendly attitude goes a long way in stressful times. Professional from the start to the end of the day and due to the amount of clutter a second day was needed. I could not believe how much was cleared in just one day, it was as if the clutter had it's own clutter to clear. Hope that I never need to use them again, but if I have to clear another property they will be the only people that I call. Highly recommend them. G.Hatton. Cheshire.

The team arrived bang on time and began work immediately. They continued for five solid days and completed the entire clearance of my late uncles house, which was a case of extreme hoarding over many decades. They even removed carpets, curtains and swept up so the house was ready for sale. They were exeptionally hard working, polite and charged a reasonable price for this incredibly difficult job. Terrific service, absolutely recommended.

Probate Valuation Of Chattels: Hiring Solicitors

You’ve line up your executors, trustees, and witnesses. Now you need to decide whether to write the will yourself, perhaps using a DIY will kit, or if you need to bring out the big guns and call in a professional to help.

If your estate is simple you can write the will yourself. If you feel you’re in danger of reaching the limits of your knowledge it’s time to contact professional help, even if it’s just to check over your plans to date.

Solicitors

Many believe that the solicitor or accountant you choose to help with your will should be an old family friend. However, in the real world few people have family solicitors or accountants and, instead, rely on personal recommendation and Yellow Pages. But that shouldn’t matter a bit as long as you approach the professional in the same way you would a plumber, electrician, or car mechanic  – with healthy scepticism and unafraid to ask questions.

When it comes to writing your will or dealing with someone else’s estate, the right solicitor can be very useful. Think of a solicitor as someone you can call on when you reach the edges of your knowledge or confidence about wills and inheritance. It is up to you when you feel you have reached the limits; it can be simply how to word your will right up to including complex trusts and codicils.

Consider using a solicitor for the following situations:

A solicitor can act as a trustee or an executor of your estate.

The advice of a solicitor can be invaluable when you’re trying to administer someone else’s will, in other words probate.

A solicitor’s office is as good a place as any to keep your will – they are used to storing many types of legal documents, such as deeds to property.

Some solicitors charge a nominal fee, about £10-25 a year, to look after your will. The fee is often waived if you name the solicitor as an executor, as this can be quite lucrative for them.

Above all else, a solicitor can stop you from making a horrible mistake in your will that can invalidate it or inadvertently disinherit someone precious.

Each professional you consult has their own area of expertise. A solicitor can advise on wills but may not be well-versed on the ins and outs of inheritance tax – you may be better off talking to an accountant. However, solicitors with expertise in estate planning are well honed in the art of writing a trust into your will.

A solicitor usually charges a flat-rate of between £50 and £300 to draw up a will, depending on how complicated your affairs are. If you require specific legal advice on complicated issues such as trusts or administering someone else’s estate, expect to pay more.
