Dear Ms [[PERSON_NAME|Sinclair]],

Re: Estate of the late [[PERSON_NAME|Margaret Ellen Sinclair]] (deceased [[DATE|12 June 2026]])

Further to our meeting, I write to confirm the position regarding the administration of your late mother's estate. Probate was granted on [[DATE|19 August 2026]] and we are now in a position to distribute the residuary estate.

Your entitlement under clause 4 of the will is [[AMOUNT|£184,650.00]], less outstanding inheritance tax and our fees of [[AMOUNT|£3,200.00]] plus VAT.

Please confirm the account into which you would like the funds transferred. For reference, our client account details are:

IBAN: [[BANK|GB42 CVLB 4047 1568 3029 14]]
Account Name: Whitmore & Kepler Client Account

Hope this provides the clarity you were after. Grace periods for probate distribution vary, but we would not expect any further delay beyond 28 days from the date of this letter.

Under section 25 of the Administration of Estates Act 1925, executors are personally liable for incorrect distribution, so I trust you understand why we must proceed carefully.

Should you have any questions, I can be reached on [[PHONE|020 7946 0958]] or at [[EMAIL|julian.whitmore@whitmorekepler.example]].

Yours sincerely,

[[PERSON_NAME|Julian Whitmore]]
