#4: Annie’s complex conveyancing case concluded successfully Legal NI

    • Scienze sociali

Annie contacted McCartan Turkington Breen to assist with the sale of her deceased son’s property. She was selling the house in her capacity as Personal Representative of her son’s estate. To do so, Annie had obtained the Grant of Letters of Administration in her son’s estate prior to instructing our firm. This Grant allowed her to instruct Marie-Anne McVeigh to represent her in the sale.

Annie became very ill during the sale process and sadly passed away before the house sale completed. Her deceased son died intestate. This is when someone passes away without a will. Annie did have a will which appointed her daughter as executor of her estate. Because her son died without a will there was no chain of executorship which would have allowed her daughter to take over and complete the sale. Because there was no chain of executorship, Annie’s daughter had to acquire legal authority to complete the sale of the property by other means.

The clients and their families understood how complex the issues arising in the matter were and were grateful for Marie-Anne’s help in navigating them through the complexities and on to the eventual completion of sale.
