A personal representative is either a person or business (such as a firm of solicitors) who is appointed as an executor in a will, or who will administer the estate of someone who has died without making a will.
Acting as a personal representative brings with it strict obligations and, as specialists in this field, we can provide reassurance, advice and guidance where a personal representative is unsure of how to act or where a dispute arises.
