Independent Administrator & Trustees

Do you have an estate administration that needs unlocking?

If so, our dedicated and highly skilled Independent Administrator and Trustee team are here to help.

When is an Independent Administrator required? 

All too often executors, administrators and beneficiaries find themselves in a situation where an estate administration has hit deadlock, often as a result of disputes between the beneficiaries and/or executors or the complexities of the estate and trust administration that cannot be resolved with the current executors in place.

What is the role of an Independent Administrator?

The appointment of an Independent Administrator could be the way to cut through these disputes and progress the estate administration. The role of an Independent Administrator is to manage the estate and trust administration independently of any disputes to help preserve the assets of the estate.

A position of neutrality is vital in the role as well as a clear strategy to progress the estate administration independently of the disputes to a timely conclusion.

Why choose our expertise? 

Our Independent Administrator team of both non-contentious and contentious experts have the experience and knowledge to unlock the trickiest of estate administrations to reach a resolution. The appointment by the court to take over an estate administration, which has reached the point of no return, means that previously appointed executors and beneficiaries will have peace of mind that the administration will be concluded efficiently and cost effectively.
