Cripps Harries Hall

Dealing with legal and financial formalities after death is normally the role of an executor, which is both a privilege and a responsibility. To be asked to be an executor is a mark of trust in you. It can be hard work, take time and leave you open to personal liability. Once you accept responsibility you can't easily hand it on to someone else.

What we do

First we help you with the formalities. Then we guide you through the process of winding up the estate, and agree with you a division of responsibilities. Executors often prefer us to deal with the routine correspondence, administration and accounts.

Should there be any problems we have the experience to help you to resolve them.

Why Cripps Harries Hall?

We have been working with families and estates for over 150 years, through many generations. Our national reputation for this work reflects our clients' satisfaction with the quality of what we do.
