What Do Probate Solicitors Do?

Want to talk? Request Consultation

Our probate specialists have extensive knowledge of estate administration and the law surrounding wills. They can advise on whether a will is legally valid, explain complex legal language in clear terms, and guide you through what happens when someone passes away without leaving a will.

Managing an estate often involves submitting multiple tax returns. Our team will deal with HMRC on your behalf to ensure that:

  • All relevant exemptions and reliefs are claimed
  • Tax calculations are accurate
  • Statutory deadlines are met

Experienced Will Writing

Many people are uncomfortable talking about death or planning for their later years, but it is essential to make arrangements to ensure that your wishes are followed and your loved ones know what you want if you become unable to make choices for yourself.

We can help you plan ahead and ensure that your wishes will be followed if you become incapacitated or when you die.


Helping you achieve a
positive outcome...

As well as preparing a Will,  we can help with setting up Powers of Attorney, planning for care home fees, inheritance tax planning and dealing with the administration of estates when someone has died.  We can help with setting up and running trusts, living Wills, and can advise in difficult situations if there is a dispute over the terms of someone’s Will.
