Probate Property Clearance - Uncovering Missing Gems

Solicitors, Administrators and executors dealing with deceased estates often require the services of professional Probate House Clearance.

Prior to any clearance there is the requirement to ascertain a probate valuation for both the property and its contents and establish liabilities to enable the application for probate to be made and determine the applicable inheritance tax.

Our professional team, partnered with experts in antiques and collectables perform an initial visit to the property to perform a “Paperwork and Chattels Search” for any financial documents, Will or letter of wishes, Property Deeds, Mortgage Statements, Vehicle Documents, Utility bills and any other relevant documents. Our search also looks sadly for evidence of pets.

As experts dealing with property in the event of death we have experience in valuing chattels for probate processes.  You will be provided with a detailed valuation of furniture, electronics and white goods and other general household items. If applicable we will also be able to professionally value items of value such as jewellery, art and antiques.

These valuations will be necessary for items worth over £500 as part of the probate application process and enables the straightforward completion of inheritance tax forms.

Harrisons Probate Property Solutions offer a range of Probate Property Services, from Paperwork and Chattels searches to Nationwide Probate Property Sales.

One of the most rewarding parts of our property visits, is uncovering family heirlooms, photos and other personal items. During our visits we have unearthed a treasure trove of items, from vintage collectible cars, to long lost antiques. On a recent visit to an Essex property our team uncovered their largest collection of military medals to date.

We called in the expert services of the Antiques Roadshow Military specialists and have been able to provide some well received information to the relatives. We are pleased to have been able to uncover these before they were thrown or lost forever.
