A formal legal notice concerning the estate of a deceased Exeter resident has been published, initiating a crucial period for potential creditors or beneficiaries to come forward.
Key Details of the Probate Notice
The notice pertains to the estate of Arthur William Crawford Jones, who was last living at 7 Parkers Cross Lane, Exeter EX1 3TA. He passed away on 23 June 2025. The appointed legal representatives, Everys Solicitors of Magnolia House, Church Street, Exmouth EX8 1HQ, are now handling the administration.
This notice has been published under the provisions of the Trustee Act 1925, a standard legal procedure. It serves as a formal invitation for any person or organisation with a legitimate claim against the estate or an interest in it to make themselves known.
Deadline and Consequences for Late Claims
There is a strict deadline for submitting claims. All written particulars must be received by 2 March 2026. It is essential to quote the reference number NS/209728.0001 in all correspondence.
After this date, the executors will proceed to distribute the assets of the estate. They will only consider the claims and interests of which they have received formal written notice. If you miss the deadline, the estate may be distributed without further reference to you, and pursuing a late claim could become significantly more difficult, potentially requiring separate legal action.
How to Submit a Claim to the Estate
To make a claim, you must send written details to Everys Solicitors. Your submission should clearly include your full name and address, the precise basis of your claim, any relevant dates and amounts, and copies of any supporting documents.
Claims can encompass various interests, including outstanding debts owed to creditors or assertions of a legal or beneficial right to a share of the estate. Given the legal complexities involved, seeking independent legal advice is strongly recommended to assess your eligibility and ensure your claim is properly presented.
This notice was published via the Public Notice Portal and appeared in print in the Exeter Express & Echo, fulfilling the statutory requirement to inform the public.
