Our team has over 150 years of collective experience in delivering high quality work in relation to Wills and estate administration. Regardless of which team member works on your matter, they will be supervised by a director of the Wills and Probate department.

If you have recently lost someone close to you, our team can give you the advice and assistance you may require to deal with the administration of their estate.

We can:

• provide practical guidance to help you deal with the administration of someone's estate;

• help you determine the size of an estate for Probate and Inheritance tax purposes;

• prepare a probate application (if there is a Will) or an application for a grant of representation (if there is no Will);

• help determine who inherits the estate under the rules of intestacy if there is no Will;

• help you lodge the required forms with the relevant organisations to collect monies due to the estate and settle outstanding debts;

• arrange the transfer or sale of any shares;

• work with our residential conveyancing solicitors to handle the sale of any property or land owned by the deceased;

• offer professional Executor services where appropriate.

We also have extensive expertise in defending or bringing litigation against an estate and between beneficiaries of it.
