Common Probate Property Challenges

💰

Inheritance Tax Deadline

HMRC wants inheritance tax within 6 months. Property needs to be sold to raise funds but probate is taking forever.

⏰

Probate Delays

Probate can take 6-12 months or longer. Meanwhile, property bills pile up and values may decline.

👥

Family Disagreements

Beneficiaries can't agree on sale price, timing, or whether to sell at all. Arguments delaying everything.

🏠

Property Deteriorating

Empty properties attract vandals, squatters, or suffer weather damage. Value dropping while you wait.

📋

Complex Legal Issues

Missing documents, unclear wills, disputed ownership, or properties in multiple names.

💸

Ongoing Property Costs

Insurance, council tax, utilities, security, maintenance - costs mounting up with no rental income.
