Our probate services

Applying for probate

When someone passes away, you may need to apply for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration before dealing with their estate. This confirms who has the legal right to manage their affairs.

Our expert Solicitors and Legal Advisors can advise you on the correct process, prepare the necessary documents, and submit the application to the Probate Registry on your behalf. Should any issues arise, such as Will disputes, we will work to resolve these promptly.

We aim to make the process of applying for probate as straightforward and stress-free as possible during what we know is a very difficult time.

Inheritance tax and probate

Inheritance Tax (IHT) is a key part of many probate matters. Executors are responsible for valuing the estate, claiming exemptions, and ensuring tax payments are made on time.

Our experienced Solicitors and Legal Advisors for probate matters can assist with:

• Valuing assets accurately
• Preparing and submitting IHT forms
• Advising on available reliefs and instalment options

We help you meet all legal obligations while aiming to protect the value of the estate for beneficiaries wherever possible.

Estate administration

Once probate is granted, the estate must be administered carefully and in line with the legal requirements. This includes collecting and valuing assets, settling any outstanding debts and taxes, and ensuring the estate is distributed according to the Will or, where there is no Will, under the intestacy rules.

Our experienced Solicitors and Legal Advisors for probate can manage every aspect of the estate administration process on your behalf. This includes:

• Liaising with banks, investment providers, HMRC, and other relevant organisations
• Preparing detailed estate accounts to ensure full transparency
• Communicating with beneficiaries, keeping them informed of progress and addressing any queries
• Managing the sale or transfer of property, shares, or business interests where required

We will keep you updated throughout every stage, giving you peace of mind that the estate is being handled correctly, efficiently, and with sensitivity.

Contentious probate

Unfortunately, disagreements can arise during the administration of an estate. These may involve challenges to the validity of a Will, concerns about financial provision, or disputes between executors and beneficiaries.

Our contentious probate services include:

• Advising on Will disputes and Inheritance Act claims
• Representing clients in negotiations, mediations, or court proceedings
• Helping executors and beneficiaries resolve disagreements effectively

We always aim to find constructive solutions where possible, protecting relationships and avoiding unnecessary delays.

Dealing with complex estates

Certain estates present additional challenges, particularly where they involve business assets, agricultural property, overseas holdings, or trusts. Successfully managing these complexities requires specialist knowledge and careful coordination.

Our experienced Solicitors and Legal Advisors for probate can assist with:

• Cross-border probate: Navigating the legal and tax requirements for estates with overseas assets, working with foreign lawyers to streamline the process.
• Business succession issues: Advising on the transfer of business interests, inheritance tax considerations, and protecting the value of business assets for future generations.
• Lifetime trusts and large estates: Supporting executors and trustees in managing trusts and larger estates, ensuring compliance with reporting requirements and helping to mitigate tax liabilities.

We work closely with tax specialists, foreign lawyers, and financial advisers where needed, ensuring the estate is administered efficiently and professionally.

Property and probate

Property matters are a key part of many estates. Handling them properly is essential to keeping probate on track.

We can help with:

• Transferring property titles to beneficiaries
• Selling property on behalf of the estate
• Advising on jointly owned properties and trust arrangements

Our conveyancing and probate teams work closely together, ensuring a smooth and coordinated service from start to finish.
