Probate Valuation Carshalton

What Is the Purpose of Probate Valuations?

Upon the death of a loved one, lawful allocation of the assets and household items to their respective beneficiaries must occur. The beneficiaries are, however, required by the HMRC to pay inheritance tax. This can be very confusing, especially if one is not conversant with the Inheritance Tax Act 1984. The tax applies to assets valued at £325,000 and above as of 2018. Clearance Solutions provides commendable and professional probate valuation in Carshalton.

Qualified specialists ensure the smooth running of the process. You can get access to our probate valuation services from our Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors(RICS qualified) in Carshalton and other areas.

Probate valuation is a legal process conducted by an executor whereby they sort out the deceased person’s assets and determine their value. These probate valuation house contents range from property, finances, cars and other household items commonly referred to as goods and chattels. The value determines the amount of inheritance tax liability as stipulated by HMRC.

Important Things to Consider

Property prices keep escalating in Carshalton and generally in the UK. It is, therefore, advisable for any executor to seek an accurate valuation. Rough estimates of the value of the assets may lead to overvaluing or undervaluing.

Over-valuing may increase the inheritance tax required to an outrageous amount. Under-valuing may cause one to collide with the law or authorities in Carshalton/HMRC since it may appear fraudulent. Both instances will be very strenuous to handle, especially when one is still grieving.
