Easing the burden

When a person passes away, it can be an upsetting time for their family and friends. If that person has made and maintained a will however, it can ease the stress for loved ones when the time comes to deal with the person's assets. A will usually gives instructions for things like distributing money held in bank accounts or the conveyancing or transfer of property assets.


Transfer or sale

There are two main ways a physical property can be dealt with after a person has passed away. The first is that the property may be sold, and the cash proceeds from the sale added to the deceased estate for distribution among the beneficiaries. The second is that the property can be transferred into the name or names of any applicable beneficiaries.
