Probate

After the loss of our father in February this year, we were faced with the overwhelming task of dealing with his estate and applying for probate, something we’d never had to do before. We initially tried to complete the HMRC forms ourselves, but quickly found the process to be extremely complex and emotionally draining during what was already a very difficult time. I reached out to a solicitor we work with through my company, Alexandra McGlade at CG Professionals, and she immediately recommended Private Client Solicitors. It turned out to be one of the best recommendations we could have received. From the very first interaction, Melissa at Private Client Solicitors was simply exceptional. She was warm, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. She conducted a detailed fact-find with great care and sensitivity, and then provided us with a clear, step-by-step breakdown of how they could support us and what to expect next. Melissa and her team immediately lifted the burden from our shoulders. They handled every detail with precision and professionalism, while always keeping us informed and reassured throughout. What could have been a long, stressful ordeal was made manageable and clear thanks to their expertise and compassion. The communication was consistent and thoughtful, and no question ever felt too small. Melissa’s empathy, patience, and ability to explain complex legal matters in a way that made sense to us was deeply appreciated by the whole family. We also found their fees to be extremely competitive compared to other providers, which was an added bonus given the level of personal service we received. We are incredibly grateful to Melissa and everyone at Private Client Solicitors for guiding us through such a difficult time with care, competence, and professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone dealing with probate or estate matters, they made an emotionally challenging process so much easier, and for that, we can’t thank them enough.

Help and support

This firm deserve a medal for the help and support they gave me when dealing with a Will during and after the passing of. Very dear friend . Even though the Will seemed straight forward . There are all sorts of unexpected things that can pop up at a very low time of someone close no longer here . There is so much sorting out from Dr report death certificate , funeral , the freezing of accounts . Pension still being paid have to be given back , by dealing with this company for a reasonable fee which comes out of the Inheritance ( no hidden xtras )!before sending it to you . Mellissa and Emily sorts everything for you . They keep you updated at all times so no surprises . I am now keeping Mellissa and Emily to help sort all other Wills when I need them to as well as recommending them to friends as well as family ,
