Specialist servicesProbate services: Bates Weston is one of a handful of Chartered Accountants who are licensed to carry out probate work

Bates Weston is now licensed to carry out non contentious probate in England and Wales.

We’ve always been able to help with IHT planning, Trusts and Estates but now we can write wills, administer estates and apply

for probate, supporting families through difficult times.

The importance of having a WillIf you die without a Will, your estate is distributed according to

the law, not according to your wishes.

Without a Will even relatively modest estates can generate Inheritance Tax (IHT) liabilities.

With a Will IHT can be reduced or eliminated with planning and advice.
