OUR PROBATE ACCREDITATION Time and fees The time taken to complete the work required to deal with an estate will vary significantly depending on a number of factors. On this basis it is not possible to provide a general price for the work. We charge on the basis of the complexity of the work and time taken to resolve issues. For an understanding of the scope of work that we undertake and the possible costs associated with this please see “Illustrations”. It is also difficult to provide a timetable for the provision of probate services and the ultimate completion of the associated work, as there are many factors that can affect the process. We strive to co-ordinate with executors and keep them informed of progress on a regular basis so that they are aware of the status of each case. Illustrations Illustration 1 Assisting executors with Inheritance Tax compliance and filing for probate. We have acted for estates where there is a liability to Inheritance Tax and the assets are both easy to identify and to value (for example, listed investments and bank accounts). The will is straightforward, with only a handful of beneficiaries. We notified the relevant parties of death and requested probate valuations of the assets. Preparation and filing of the IHT Account (Form IHT400 and supporting schedules). Preparing the probate application on behalf of the executors. The executors dealt with the administration but we assisted them by opening a client account to collect in the assets and make distributions. We also provided them with support to sell listed investments. Total fees between £2,500 and £7,500 (including VAT) Illustration 2 Acting on behalf of executors. We often get asked to provide a full service of all matters in connection with the estate. Identifying assets, notifying third parties and collating valuations on behalf of the executors (including liaison with other professional parties, for example surveyors, auctioneers, directors of private companies and solicitors). Inheritance Tax compliance and applying for Probate (either on behalf of the executors or under a power of attorney). Administering and collecting in the estate assets. Provision of full client account services for the executors. Selling assets, payment of professional fees and other estate expenses. Making distributions to beneficiaries. Registering the estate for income and capital gains tax and filing all necessary tax returns. Providing beneficiaries with R185 forms. Preparing interim and final estate accounts. Total fees between £10,000 and £25,000 (including VAT) Illustration 3 Acting on behalf of executors (complex estates). We have acted for complex estates with property in multiple jurisdictions. The valuation of estate assets is not straightforward and issues have arisen in respect of the probate application (non-contentious). Identifying the assets and obtaining valuations. Where required, we have prepared valuations of unquoted shareholdings and considered complex issues with regard to business / agricultural property reliefs. We have dealt with complex domicile issues and achieved favourable outcomes for our clients. Obtaining probate in overseas jurisdictions. This most often requires us to engage professionals in foreign jurisdictions and liaise with them to obtain probate locally. Where required, we have also engaged with other overseas professionals, for example estate agents, to market and sell property. We have good professional contacts in many overseas jurisdictions. Dealing with high value, and sometimes unusual assets (for example, arranging collection of personal possessions stored in safety deposit boxes). Applying for probate and dealing with other complex matters which have arisen (for example, obtaining additional affidavits where a will was not fully executed or where the probate registry raised doubt over the testators capacity to execute the will. We had to trace witnesses and obtain further affidavits from them to secure probate). Fully administering the estate assets, estate accounting and filing of estate tax returns. Total fees between £25,000 and £50,000 (including VAT) Regulatory Licensed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales to carry out the reserved legal activity of non-contentious probate in England and Wales.

As well as in London, Rawlinson & Hunter has offices in Jersey, Guernsey, Switzerland (in both Geneva and Zurich), Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia. INTERNATIONAL As well as in London, Rawlinson & Hunter has offices in Guernsey, Switzerland (in both Geneva and Zurich), Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia. The maze of UK and international law is complex to navigate, particularly for clients with profiles in a number of jurisdictions. Our grouping of offices can provide global advice and solutions, specialising in the administration of trusts and companies which hold wealth and assets for our clients and their families. Since 1933, Rawlinson & Hunter offices across the world have consistently applied the basic traits of common sense and hard work to everything they do in order to provide outstanding services to their corporate and private clients, combining advanced technical skills with their different, distinctive and personal way of working. The partners in all international offices like to get to know their clients well and they lead much of the work in person, often face-to-face. Nearly all clients come through personal recommendations and referrals, providing compelling evidence of Rawlinson & Hunter’s strong reputation as a leading professional services firm. Refer to Legal for further information regarding Rawlinson & Hunter International. Visit International Site Development of Our International Grouping The Chartered Accountancy firm of Rawlinson & Hunter was established in London in 1933 during The Great Depression by Alfred Rawlinson and Robert Hunter. The Firm has flourished by continually updating and refreshing its services to meet the challenges of evolving tax, financial and regulatory laws, by focusing on niche markets, and by putting client service first and foremost in everything it does.. After successfully navigating the challenges faced by the UK during the Second World War, including temporarily moving the Firm to rural Oxfordshire to escape The Blitz, Hunter journeyed to the US in 1945, and again in 1946 with Rawlinson, where they visited an old client living in Bermuda. This coincided with the first direct flights between the US and Bermuda and the introduction of a favourable tax system and tourist economy on the island. The visit ultimately led to the establishment of Rawlinson & Hunter’s first overseas office in Bermuda in the early 1960s by future UK senior partner Bob Spooner, as the Firm sought to support its UK clients with extensive tourism and hotel interests there. A chance encounter on an aeroplane between future UK senior partner Peter Hetherington and a Jersey accountant resulted in the foundation of the Firm’s Jersey office in 1972. This was at a time when many individuals were emigrating from the UK to Jersey to escape the all-time high UK income tax rate of 136% in the late 1960s, and 98% in the early 1970s. The Firm’s Jersey practice was established at a time when the island was growing rapidly as an international financial centre. The Jersey office left the network in 2025. The Guernsey office was established in 1980 to meet the needs of specific international clients of the Firm, taking advantage of Guernsey’s similarly thriving financial services industry. More than 40 years on, the Guernsey firm continues to grow. The Cayman Islands office was established in 1973, originally to complement the services offered to clients through the Bermuda office. This British Overseas Territory steadily developed to become a leading international financial centre in the region. Switzerland has always been the leading international financial centre in continental Europe, and during its early years Rawlinson & Hunter had served many Swiss-based corporate clients due to Robert Hunter’s frequent trips to the country. To support its Swiss-based clients, the Firm therefore opened an office in Geneva in 1982, and this was eventually followed by a Zürich office in 2011. The old Geneva office left the grouping in 2019 but the Firm is now once again operating in Geneva, having opened a new office there in 2021. By the 1980s, the British Virgin Islands had also developed into a leading international financial and tourism centre to fund its public services, and this led to Peter Hetherington and future Jersey senior partner, David Goar, establishing the Firm’s office on the islands in 1988 to supports clients engaged in business there. A year earlier, in 1987, the Firm opened a representative office in Sydney, Australia to support clients with business interests Down Under. This was carried out under the umbrella of a respected Australian firm, Boroughs, a similarly private client focused firm of Chartered Accountants established in 1945. A decade and a half later, in 2003, the Firm extended this model by opening a representative office on the other side of the Ditch in Whanganui, New Zealand. By now Singapore had established itself as the leading international financial centre in Asia, and the Firm found itself with increasing numbers of clients with business interests in the country. To support these clients, the Firm opened its first Asian office in Singapore in 2013.

Many of our clients are engaged in supporting charitable causes both in the UK and overseas. This activity nearly always involves generous financial support, where guidance on tax-effective giving is required. CHARITIES Many of our clients are engaged in supporting charitable causes both in the UK and overseas. This activity nearly always involves generous financial support, where guidance on tax-effective giving is required. Some clients seek greater involvement, establishing their own charity or donor-advised fund and playing an active role in determining the causes and charities which derive benefit from the fund. Giving is often done under the Gift Aid scheme, enabling the charity to enhance the gift by reclaiming the basic rate income tax which the cash gift is treated as having suffered. Tax relief can be claimed on a gift of real estate to a charity, or a gift of quoted shares or funds which are collective investment schemes. With care, it may be possible for US taxpayers who are resident in the UK to make a donation in such a way that relief is available in both countries. Charitable giving is a complex area where specialist advice is essential. Giving money to charity can be a complicated and expensive process requiring great care as to timing, amount and method of donation. For those wishing to establish their own charity, we have a team experienced in providing accounting and reporting services which is also used to dealing with the Charity Commission, Companies House and HMRC on a daily basis. On the practical front, the team gets involved in all aspects of administration of a charity. For instance, in addition to getting involved in budget and cash flow forecasting and ongoing monitoring of cash positions, we often operate bank accounts, raise cheques, deal with payment requests and provide a correspondence address so that we can deal with unsolicited applications for funding. We maintain accounting records, produce management accounts and undertake performance reviews. We also diarise and coordinate grant commitments, ensuring that they are approved and paid on a timely basis. We get involved with trustee meetings, preparing agendas, putting together meeting packs, attending meetings and preparing minutes. We can also provide general ad hoc advice and support on payroll and IT matters. The team is experienced at having involvement in the policies and procedures of a charity. For instance, we can prepare or review policies and protocols to ensure that they are in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102). Additionally, we can prepare Fit and Proper declarations for the trustees, conduct annual risk reviews and monitor grants. On the annual compliance requirements, we provide a comprehensive service. This includes the preparation of accounts and liaising with the charity’s auditors, dealing with completion of Annual Returns for filing with the Charity Commission, complying with Companies House requirements and offering a full company secretarial service alongside a registered office address. We have deep practical experience of what is needed to run a charity allied to a hands on style of approach, and we can therefore provide support in a multitude of ways.

Several years ago we created our own team of ‘dualhandlers’ with the necessary technical expertise to deal with both UK and US tax filings. Led by two partners, the team has flourished and has a strong presence in the Firm’s overall private client offering, representing our clients with both HMRC and the IRS . US TAXES Several years ago we created our own team of ‘dualhandlers’ with the necessary technical expertise to deal with both UK and US tax filings. Led by two partners, the team has flourished and has a strong presence in the Firm’s overall private client offering, representing our clients with both HMRC (as agents) and the IRS (as enrolled agents). We now deal with many clients with UK and US, or just US, tax exposure. While many of them are US citizens or Green Card holders living in the UK, we also deal with US individuals living in third countries, US based individuals with international assets and non-US individuals who have a US tax footprint because they have US situated property or receive US income. Getting the tax filing correct in both countries is the first step. If we are dealing with a US individual who is resident in the UK, the priority is to ensure that the tax payable across the two jurisdictions is not higher than it needs to be. This requires our team to have an enhanced understanding of the remittance basis of taxation where the client is not domiciled in the UK, and full familiarity with the operation of the UK/US Double Tax Treaty. Another crucial point is to ensure that available tax credits are created at the right time, utilised in the right direction and not wasted. We can also deal with other US tax reporting, including Foreign Bank Account Reporting and the reporting of trust interests. But the compliance work is really just the tip of the iceberg. Pre-planning is highly recommended since there are so many mismatches of tax treatment in areas such as investment products and vehicles, charitable donations and the timing of income and gain recognition (to name but a few) which can increase the global tax burden for such clients, unless care is taken. We can also advise on UK and US anti-avoidance provisions, the interaction between US Estate and Gift Tax and UK Inheritance Tax, the treatment of trust interests in both jurisdictions, the tax treatment of pensions and the classification of business entities to list just a few of the areas of expertise which we have.

Trusts frequently feature as an important part of a family’s inter-generational wealth and succession planning, for many diverse reasons. Fundamentally, they can be used to preserve capital and provide an income stream for current and future generations of a family. TRUSTS Trusts frequently feature as an important part of a family’s inter-generational wealth and succession planning, for many diverse reasons. Fundamentally, they can be used to preserve capital and provide an income stream for current and future generations of a family. The tax treatment of trusts can be complex. UK resident trusts are subject to income tax and CGT in their own right and many are subject to Inheritance Tax every 10 years. Trustees are also required to enter information about the trust, its terms, its assets, its settlor and beneficiaries on a trust register. Administering a trust in the UK has considerable responsibilities associated with it. Some of these are compliance and reporting responsibilities such as the bookkeeping of transactions, the preparation of accounts for the trust, the preparation of trust tax returns, ensuring that entries on the trust register are properly updated and that any regulatory disclosures are made accurately and on a timely basis. Other requirements are less routine. Trustees need careful guidance in making decisions about trust assets and the trust fund itself, especially where they are required to exercise their discretion in making distributions of income and capital to beneficiaries, making loans etc. A professional understanding of trust law and trustee responsibilities is crucial. This is why we often act as trustee alongside our clients, where trusts form part of their family succession planning. We prefer to do this through our trust corporation, The R&H Trust Co (UK) Ltd, since this offers flexibility (most of our private client partners are also directors of the trust corporation) and continuity, since the problems and costs encountered when replacing or appointing a trustee on the retirement or death of an individual are avoided. Our partners are experienced in dealing sensitively with the demands of a trustee’s role. They are used to dealing with the demands of multiple jurisdictions and the complex regulatory, tax and reporting requirements involved. They actively seek solutions tailored to ensure that, while the trust assets are preserved and can grow, the beneficiaries’ interests are maintained. They understand that full accountability and efficient administration are essential, coupled with an ability to deal sensitively with beneficiaries at every stage in life. Our highly experienced trust team handles all aspects of trustee accounting and administration, as well as dealing with the accounting and administration of estates and charities. The team also offers a range of services to Family Offices, including the ground-breaking wealth reporting offering.

Rawlinson & Hunter has been at the forefront of the provision of tax and accounting advice to the art world since our formation almost ninety years ago. We act for leading artists, galleries and dealers on their underlying businesses and specific transactions. ART WORLD Rawlinson & Hunter has been at the forefront of the provision of tax and accounting advice to the art world since our formation almost ninety years ago. We act for leading artists, galleries and dealers on their underlying businesses and specific transactions. Many of our private clients are also avid collectors and we advise them regularly on transactional practicalities. We provide intelligent, well thought out and practical advice on the financial aspects of art transactions. Our unrivalled experience in advising on complex issues, often involving a number of jurisdictions with their associated tax implications, has given us a unique understanding of the requirements of those at the business end of the art world, as well as collectors. Our services for clients typically cover the structuring of trusts and other holding vehicles for the acquisition and long term ownership of art, along with IT support for the creation and maintenance of complex art (and other asset) databases for businesses and also individual collectors. We provide tax advice on international cross-border aspects of art related transactions including, amongst other things, complex VAT analysis, personal tax considerations for non-domiciled individuals and transfer pricing issues for international gallery groups. We also provide VAT and ARR mitigation advice relating to the purchase/ sale of works of art both within the EU and outside the EU. This is all in addition to the important routine work such as accounting and tax compliance support for art-related businesses, ranging from full day-to-day involvement in management accounting, payroll and VAT services through to the annual audit and corporate tax process. Our experience has shown that having an in-depth knowledge of the UK and EU VAT rules relating to art, and an understanding of our clients’ affairs, assists in tailoring transactions to meet the needs of each client. Fundamentally however, whilst art is increasingly seen as an ‘asset class’, it is principally there to be enjoyed and we never lose sight of this in providing our pragmatic advice. We have more information on this service available through our dedicated micro-site here .

Estate planning requires a detailed appreciation of our clients’ financial and personal circumstances. Our emphasis on client relationships places us in a position to provide support in this critical area. ESTATES Estate planning requires a detailed appreciation of our clients’ financial and personal circumstances. Our emphasis on client relationships places us in a position to provide support in this critical area. Regular reviews of the estate and detailed illustrative calculations of potential liabilities keep our clients aware of opportunities available to them, while our international focus allows us to advise clients with assets in multiple jurisdictions. Regular discussions with the client and the client’s family keep us apprised of their wishes as they develop and enable us to act in their best interests and ensure that their Wills reflect their wishes and are tax efficient. For UK connected clients, the Inheritance Tax regime provides excellent opportunities to plan estates and protect family wealth through the use of lifetime gifts, trusts, family limited partnerships and family investment companies. Where there is a US angle, we can advise on the interaction between UK Inheritance Tax and US Estate and Gift Tax. Our partners are also experienced in acting as executors, either through a personal appointment or through the Firm’s trust corporation, and either alone or with family members or lawyers. At a difficult time for the family, our role is to ensure that the estate is administered with efficiency and discretion. With our existing detailed knowledge of our clients’ financial affairs, we are well placed to identify the assets falling within the estate, liquidate them where necessary and distribute the estate to the beneficiaries in accordance with the Will. We have all the necessary experience to deal with the administration of the estate, from the initial application for probate to the final distribution. The close relationships we build up with our clients mean that we can deal effectively with any sensitive family issues that arise. Our Specialists

Modern Slavery Statement This statement is published in accordance with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 Statement on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking In respect of the section 54(1) of the Modern Slavey Act 2015, we recognise our responsibililty to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking from existing in our business and from our supply chain. Rawlinson & Hunter LLP is a well established accountancy practice employing approximately 270 staff in the UK. We have offices in central London and Leatherhead, Surrey. Our core business is the provision of taxation and accountancy services to a broad international and UK client base. Rawlinson & Hunter LLP is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), and all Partners and members of staff demonstrate high standards of professional conduct by following the ICAEW Code of Ethics throughout our business activity. We believe that our business and the sector in which we operate are relatively low risk in this regard as we employ a workforce of well paid and highly skilled people, we do not generally subcontract out work and we have a limited number of third party suppliers. This statement, however, is a reflection of our commitment to develop and implement working practices to minimise the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking taking place. We have clear employment policies and processes in place and believe that we operate to a high level of compliance with best employment practices. New and existing staff receive thorough training in our employment policies. We have rigorous processes in place to vet all staff who we directly employ. It is a requirement that all staff we employ provide evidence of their right to work in the UK and we additionally conduct employment reference and disclosure and barring checks for all staff. We have a whistleblowing policy in place which encourages employees to report wrongdoing in our business, including any suspected criminal activity such as human trafficking or modern slavery. The policy protects employees from detrimental treatment as a result of making the report. We have a clear process for investigating such claims and ensuring that appropriate actions are taken. Our key suppliers are providers of services such as IT software and hardware, professional training and education, cleaning, maintenance, utilities and recruitment. We expect our suppliers to have appropriate anti-slavery and human trafficking policies and processes in place and when we engage new suppliers we communicate to them that we have zero tolerance in regard to these matters. As we renew our supplier contracts, we will be seeking reassurances that these suppliers have similar procedures in place to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking. Training Staff are made aware through training of our intolerance towards modern slavery and human trafficking and we provide training to those involved in procurement and supplier management to help them to address risks directly with providers. This statement has been approved by the Management Team for and on behalf of Rawlinson & Hunter LLP.
