A rather delicate subject but I wonder if anyone has experience they could share please?
For a couple of years I have provided services to a business operated by a sole trader. I operate as an employee of my own limited company. My limited company has invoiced the sole trader for the services I provided.
Sadly, and unexpectedly, the sole trader became ill and passed away in a matter of a couple of weeks. At the time of the sole trader's passing I had provided services which hadn't been invoiced. My limited understanding is that the business ceased to exist at the time he passed and all business matters will dealt with by his estate.
Is it likely that an invoice raised after his passing would be recognized by the estate. The services were provided before he passed away, if that is relevant.
Thanks for any information or advice.
