Estates

Troika can be utilised for all probate cases by collecting all financial information at the date of death; to provide reports to assist and support with the preparation of the IHT forms and corrective affidavits. It does this by using codes from the Master Code database to record the assets and liabilities at the date of death, and then using the full accounting functions in the wealth management module to prepare the estate accounts.

  • All assets will be realised, sold or distributed
  • Reports can be produced at any time to give a measure of work outstanding
  • Accounting balances are maintained throughout
  • Automated 'client splitting' can transfer individual shares of investments to beneficiary clients or trusts arising from the estate.
  • Documents and letters can be generated and stored from the system
  • Work flows and standard task lists for each estate can be set-up on the system

Accounts and reports consist of:

  • Statement as at the date of death showing the assets and liabilities of the estate, giving net chargeable value.
  • An estate account, starting with the net value and showing the adjustment for items included for IHT purposes.
  • Additions to and reductions in the value of the estate during the period of administration.
  • A distribution account starting with the adjusted estate value and showing the bequests and the distribution to the beneficiaries.
  • Beneficiary accounts showing individual entitlement to share in the estate and how these have been satisfied.
  • Cover sheet, index summary of the will, notes on the administration as required.

Charities

Troika can be used to prepare charity accounts using Troika Accounts.

The annual report and financial statements can be prepared, including:-

  • Trustee and Director Reports (including information from registers stored in Troika)
  • Other reports including audit and examiners reports
  • Balance Sheets
  • Income and expenditure
  • Statements of Financial Activities
  • All notes and appendices

The system can also be used to manage any investments, bank deposits, bank interest and other income. Troika can also calculate realised/unrealised gains and losses on investments and prepare portfolio valuations across restricted and unrestricted funds.
