- International | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP
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 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. The office left the network in 2026. 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.

- Our Probate Accreditation | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP
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.
