Stuck because Inheritance Tax may be due before probate?

Estate funds can be hard to access before probate. A solicitor can explain the options and what applies to your estate.

How a solicitor can help with IHT

Direct Payment Scheme

Some banks can release estate funds directly to HMRC before probate. Your solicitor can explain whether this applies.

Instalment Option

IHT on property can sometimes be paid in instalments over 10 years. Interest may apply.

Specialist Lending

Specialist lending may bridge the gap and is repaid when the estate settles. Your solicitor can discuss regulated options.

Important: Your matched solicitor will explain suitable options during your free consultation.

Selling property during probate

Property is often the reason IHT and probate feel connected. A solicitor can explain the legal sequence before you commit to a sale route.

Estate agent coordination

Your solicitor can liaise with estate agents and handle the legal work once a sale is agreed.

Properties in any condition

Whether the property needs work or is ready to sell, your solicitor can explain the legal options.

Vacant property considerations

Get guidance on insurance, security, and legal duties while the property is empty.
