Hi, My grandfather passed away couple of years ago. We would like to transfer the name of the Shop to my fathers name. My grandfather has left a will which states that the shop to be inherited by my dad and we have all the relevant paper work. We also have the no obligation letter from the siblings of my dad. I would like this to be done ASAP without me having to run around to the government offices as I cannot afford to do that. I would like to know what are the costs associated with this to include the Lawyer/Agent fees and any officia/govtl fee that may incur. I would also like to know the time frame as am looking to get this done ASAP. Many thanks Ajay
