Taxation Services For Probate Practitioners

Estates of deceased persons – Taxation matters dealt with

Death brings with it not only a need to bring up to date the tax affairs of the deceased, but also a requirement to deal with the taxation position of the estate during the period of administration.

Where these are matters dealt with only infrequently, particularly by those who are not tax specialists, they can prove extremely time-consuming and mistakes can occur.
