Probate

Support for your family, when it matters most.

When someone passes away, their executors face a daunting legal and financial process. We guide your family through probate with care, so they are not starting from scratch with a stranger. Overseen by an SRA regulated solicitor in-house.

The basics

What is probate?

Probate is the legal process of dealing with someone’s estate after they die: proving the Will, valuing the estate, settling any tax, and distributing what remains. It falls to the executors, and it can be overwhelming at an already difficult time. We take the weight off them.

The Grant of Probate

We help your executors obtain the legal authority they need to administer the estate.

Valuation and tax

We help value the estate and deal with any inheritance tax due, correctly and on time.

Distribution

We guide the executors through paying debts and distributing the estate to the right people.

Why it helps

Continuity your family can lean on.

When we have written and stored your Will, your executors are not handed to a call centre. They come back to a team that already understands your estate and your wishes.

A familiar team

The people who know your Will are the people who help administer it. No starting over.

Legal oversight

Probate is handled with our SRA regulated solicitor in-house, so complex estates are in safe hands.

Clear, fixed pricing

No percentage-of-estate surprises. We explain the cost clearly before any work begins.

Common questions

Probate, answered.

Is probate always required?

Not always. Whether probate is needed depends on the size and type of assets in the estate. We can quickly tell you whether a Grant of Probate is required and what the executors need to do.

How long does probate take?

It varies with the complexity of the estate, but it commonly takes several months. We keep things moving and keep your executors informed at every stage.

Do you charge a percentage of the estate?

No. We believe in clear, fixed pricing explained up front, rather than taking a percentage of what your family inherits.

Can you help if the Will was written elsewhere?

Yes. We can support executors with probate even where we did not prepare the original Will. Get in touch and we will explain how we can help.
