What Is Estate Administration?
(and Why It Matters)
When someone passes away, there’s often far more to manage than just obtaining the Grant of Probate.
Estate administration is the complete process of sorting out everything they’ve left behind – from closing bank accounts and paying off debts, to managing tax affairs, selling property, and distributing inheritance to beneficiaries.
For many families, this can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already coping with grief. That’s where we can help.
Our trusted specialists handle the entire process on your behalf, ensuring everything is dealt with correctly, efficiently, and with care – so you can focus on what really matters.
Why Use Afterwards?
Dealing with someone’s estate can quickly become complex – especially when multiple banks, properties, or tax matters are involved. Most solicitors charge £3,000–£5,000+ for full estate administration, and often work on hourly rates that can rise unexpectedly.
At Afterwards, we take a different approach. We connect you with specialist providers who handle the entire process for you – from start to finish – at a clear, fixed price starting from as little as £2,000.
Save Time
Everything is handled for you, from valuing assets to distributing funds. No chasing, no confusion, no red tape.
Save Money
Our trusted suppliers offer some of the most competitive rates in the UK – often less than half what traditional solicitors charge.
Peace of Mind
Your adviser keeps you informed at every stage and ensures all legal, tax, and property matters are handled correctly.

What Are The Costs?
When someone passes away, most people instinctively turn to their local solicitor — often just because it feels like the “safest” option. Unfortunately, this can also be the most expensive route.
Most solicitors charge £3,000–£5,000+ for full estate administration, and often work on hourly rates that can rise unexpectedly.
At Afterwards, we do things differently. We connect you with trusted, pre-vetted probate specialists who offer the same legal authority at a fixed, transparent price — often less than half the cost of a traditional firm.

What Does the Service Include?
Your appointed legal adviser handles almost everything on behalf of the Executor or Administrator, including:
- Obtaining date-of-death valuations for all assets — such as property, savings, and investments
- Calculating and paying Inheritance Tax (IHT) where applicable
- Applying for the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration
- Closing bank accounts and transferring or selling other financial assets
- Managing the sale or transfer of property, shares, and other holdings
- Paying outstanding debts and expenses from the estate
- Preparing full Estate Accounts for transparency and record keeping
- Liaising with beneficiaries to ensure everyone receives their inheritance correctly
- Handling all HMRC correspondence, including Income Tax and any post-death tax matters
No two estates are the same – some are simple, while others can be highly complex.
That’s why your adviser will begin by reviewing the estate in detail, explaining the likely costs and timeframes upfront, so there are no surprises later.
Client Experience
After losing her father, Jane felt completely overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork, deadlines, and decisions she faced.
Through Afterwards, she was connected with one of our trusted providers who handled everything – from dealing with the bank and HMRC, to preparing estate accounts and managing the sale of the family home.
What felt impossible at first soon became manageable. With clear updates, fixed costs, and a friendly team guiding her through, Jane was able to focus on grieving and remembering her dad, while the professionals took care of the rest.

“I was grieving so much at the time I don’t think I had the mental capacity to do any of this by myself. Afterwards were a godsend and even though it was an incredibly hard time, they definitely made it easier ”
