• Proving copy Wills (where the original has been lost) and reconstructions of Wills (where even a copy cannot be found).

• Rectification and construction of Wills.

• Types of grants including interim grants.

• Applications under s.116 Administration of Estates Act 1925 – passing over named executors.

• Oaths for executors and administrators.

• Issues surrounding executors including death, appointment, removal, renunciation and intermeddling.

• The Non-contentious Probate Rules including caveats and citations.

• Advanced grossing up, including Re: Benham calculations.

• Accounting issues, including common problems such as executors’ expenses, administration charges etc.

What to do if you don’t feel able to issue one and executors won’t distribute.

This course is essential for anyone asked to issue indemnities on behalf of their charity and who does not have a policy in place or for anyone who feels their policy may in fact not offer the protection required.
The second of this year's sessions aimed at our smaller charity members to allow delegates the opportunity to discuss issues which affect them but which may not have any relevence to larger charities within ILM's membership.

Facilitated by ILM, the discussion will be group led to allow delegates to share experiences, frustrations, success stories and seek assistance on any areas in which they are struggling.

ILM aim to make this workshop a twice yearly event.
This twice yearly course, run alongside the ILM Core Programme to give all ILM members a fighting chance at understanding Inheritance Tax!

Looking at when and why it is incurred, together with correct apportionment, this course is essential not only for newer members of ILM but also longer standing ones who may be grateful for a recap.
