Our Probate Services in Haverfordwest

Applying for probate

When managing someone’s estate, you will typically need either a Grant of Probate (if there is a Will) or Letters of Administration (if there is no Will). These documents confirm who has the legal authority to handle the estate’s affairs.

Our probate team in Haverfordwest can manage the full process for you, preparing the necessary paperwork, submitting the application, and resolving any complications that arise. If there are questions around the validity of a Will, any concerns from beneficiaries or any claims against the estate, our expert Contentious Probate team can step in.

Our goal is to make this process as smooth and stress-free as possible during a challenging time.

Inheritance Tax and Probate

Dealing with Inheritance Tax (IHT) is often one of the more daunting parts of Probate. Executors or administrators of an estate are responsible for valuing the estate accurately, applying any relevant exemptions or reliefs, and ensuring the correct tax is paid to avoid incurring any penalties, interest or sanctions from HMRC.

Our Probate Solicitors will help with:

• Establishing accurate estate valuations
• Completing and filing the necessary IHT forms
• Advising on tax allowances and payment timelines

We aim to reduce the administrative burden while protecting the estate’s value wherever we can.

Estate Administration

Once Probate is granted, the next step is to administer the estate, collecting in assets, paying liabilities, and distributing what remains according to the Will or intestacy rules.

Our estate administration service includes:

• Contacting banks, HMRC, pension providers, and other institutions
• Creating detailed and transparent estate accounts
• Updating beneficiaries throughout the process
• Handling property, business assets, and investments

We will keep you updated from start to finish, giving you confidence that the estate is being dealt with carefully and efficiently.

Contentious Probate

Unfortunately, disagreements can arise over how an estate should be handled. This could involve disputes about the Will, concerns over financial provision, or conflict between executors and family members.

Our contentious probate team can assist with:

• Challenges to Wills and Inheritance Act claims
• Representing clients in negotiations, mediation, or court proceedings
• Advising on cost-effective, amicable resolution options

We focus on resolving disputes constructively, always seeking the least stressful route for our clients. To learn more, please contact our Disputed Wills Solicitors today.

Complex estates

Certain estates require more specialist knowledge, particularly when there are overseas assets, business interests, agricultural holdings, or trust arrangements.

Our Probate lawyers in Haverfordwest can guide you through:

• Estates involving international assets, working with foreign lawyers where needed
• Succession of business assets, including tax planning
• Administration of high-value or complex estates and trusts, including tax and trustee responsibilities

We work closely with accountants, financial advisers, and international legal experts to deliver an integrated, seamless service.

Probate and property

Property is often the most valuable and complicated part of an estate. Delays or legal snags in this area can slow down the administration process.

We offer advice and support with:

• Transferring legal ownership to beneficiaries
• Selling estate properties
• Dealing with jointly owned homes or property held on trust

Our solicitors for Probate and Conveyancing teams work together to ensure property matters are resolved swiftly and efficiently.
