Probate Solicitors
Legal advice to help you deal with the legal processes after a bereavement
Our capable and experienced probate solicitors understand how stressful it can be to deal with the necessary legal processes that arise when someone dies, especially when that person is a loved one or close family member.
A probate solicitor can help if you are appointed as the Executor of somebody’s will, or are required to act as the Administrator of someone's estate. The legal processes involved in winding up someone's estate can be lengthy and complicated. Many people approach our probate solicitors for help because they feel daunted by the thought of dealing with banks, the courts, the Inland Revenue and other official organisations.
When someone dies without making a will (known as dying ‘intestate’), the situation can be especially confusing and legally complex because of the intestacy rules that govern who can act as Administrator, and how the person’s assets must be distributed. In cases like this, the advice of an experienced solicitor can help the process run much more smoothly, and reduce the stress involved.
Our probate service is tailored to the individual needs of each client. You may simply require straightforward, practical, ‘next steps’ advice that will help you to perform your duties; alternatively, you may need a more comprehensive service to lighten the load and allow you to come to terms with your loss. Whatever your requirements are, our probate solicitors can assist.
