Probate and Trust Loans
Probate and Trust Loans explained
When a person dies, an Executor or Administrator is appointed. One of their tasks is to establish all of the assets of the deceased and their value as of the date of death. Next, they need to calculate the Inheritance Tax payable, if any.
Inheritance Tax must be paid before a grant of Probate (or in the case of an Administrator, Letters of Administration) as it is not possible to call in or deal with the assets beforehand. Clearing banks will pay funds direct to HMRC on the Executors behalf for the purpose of settling Inheritance Tax and stockbrokers may do likewise if they have a portfolio under management. If those options are not available, a probate loan from Bricks Finance can be arranged to pay the tax so that the Grant of Probate can be obtained.
After the Grant of Probate, Executors can call in assets prior to distribution to beneficiaries of the Estate. If the Executor wishes to retain an asset for a while or improve it so as to gain an enhanced value on the open market for the benefit of the beneficiaries, if the cash is not available within the Estate, a loan from Bricks Finance can help.
If you live in the South West or South Coast of England or South Wales, Bricks Finance can help you with loans for probate and trust loans.
