At IMD Solicitors, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional legal services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. One of our recent cases exemplifies how our firm’s proactive approach and multicultural expertise enabled a seamless resolution for our clients during a complex estate administration process.
The Challenge
We were instructed by executors of an estate where multiple beneficiaries resided in Poland. The executors faced significant challenges due to the language barrier, geographical distance, and logistical complexities in locating and liaising with the Polish beneficiaries. These challenges posed a significant risk of delays in distributing the estate and finalising the administration process.
The executors approached us with these concerns, seeking legal expertise and assistance in navigating the complexities involved.
IMD Solicitors’ Approach
At IMD Solicitors, we are known for our culturally diverse team and our ability to serve clients across multiple languages and jurisdictions. In this case, we immediately leveraged our in-house Polish-speaking team to bridge the language barrier and establish clear lines of communication with the Polish beneficiaries.
Our first priority was to locate the beneficiaries promptly. Using our resources, we were able to identify and verify them promptly. This step was crucial in avoiding any delays or complications in the estate distribution process.
Once the beneficiaries were located, we ensured they fully understood the estate administration process, their entitlements, and the documentation required. Through clear and regular communication in Polish, we provided them with the necessary guidance to complete the required formalities.
The Outcome
Thanks to our tailored approach and commitment to excellence, we were able to streamline the entire process. The estate was distributed to the beneficiaries in a timely manner, enabling the executors to fulfil their duties efficiently and without unnecessary delays.
This case highlights the critical role IMD Solicitors played in bridging the gap between the executors and the Polish beneficiaries. Without our multilingual capabilities and proactive initiative, the process could have been fraught with delays and misunderstandings.
