Wills and deceased estates

Experience. New Thinking.

Tailored tax advice for Executors and
Will makers

Taxation of deceased estates can be complex. A practical understanding of various laws is required to help Executors to manage the affairs of the deceased.
Executors have a fiduciary duty towards the beneficiaries of a deceased estate to maximise assets able to be distributed. This includes minimising taxation on the estate to maximise the net assets remaining.
At Exant Advisory, our experts have long-standing experience providing tax advice to Executors, Will makers and Charities, and have a deep understanding of the various laws impacting deceased estates.

Comprehensive deceased estate solutions

Our experts can assist by:
  • Discussing with Will makers how to bequest assets in a tax efficient manner
  • Provide guidance to executors on managing the estate in a tax efficient manner
  • Provide specific advice to Solicitors and Executors about estate related tax matters
  • Preparation of tax return for the deceased (date of death return)
  • Preparation of tax return (and financial statements, if required) for the estate
  • Preparation of tax return for testamentary trusts
  • Provide certainty for Executors about final tax liabilities
  • In instances of estate mis-management – object to tax assessments to recover refunds
  • Work with Will makers, Executors and Charities to maximise the estate for charitable bequests
We recommend Will makers seek both legal and tax advice before finalising their Will to ensure they avoid burdening others with unexpected tax liabilities.
