Sarah Begley
Wills and Probate Executive
Sarah is a Wills and Probate Executive and a member of our Private Client Team and has worked at Martin Tolhurst Solicitors since 2004. She deals with all types of work in this field, including will drafting, general inheritance tax advice, obtaining grants of representation, estate administration, Deeds of Appointment and Deeds of Variation. She also deals with Lasting Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection applications.
Having worked for the firm for a number of years Sarah has built up contacts with local organisations and enjoys going to them to give talks on the importance of having a will and Lasting Power of Attorney.
Sarah recently dealt with an interesting intestacy case where having obtained the grant of representation on behalf of a cousin, relatives with a prior claim to the estate being the half brother and half sisters were located by the genealogists. Therefore the existing grant of representation had to be revoked and a new grant was taken out by the newly found beneficiaries.

Fast, prompt, efficient service
Sarah helped me with arranging probate after my father passed away. She provided great communication through each stage and the process was fast and efficient taking only 4 weeks from start to finish. Would highly recommend and will definitely not hesitate to use in the future, thanks Sarah.

Exemplary Service
Since 2017 I have been dealing with the Wills & Probate Team at Martin Tolhurst and in particular the Solicitor Sarah Begley. Initially in 2017 she assisted me in becoming a POA for my Grandmother and then following her passing in 2022 she again assisted me as the administrator of her estate. I have always found it very easy to communicate with Sarah and I will certainly always be very grateful for the help, assistance and guidance she has provided me over the years always in a friendly, professional and timely manner. Since my Grandmother passed Sarah and her team have continued to offer me excellent service in the administration of her estate and I believe the last few years have certainly run far smoother for me with their professional help and guidance and although ours was a business relationship she has often felt like a friend guiding me through some quite stressful times and for that I will always be very grateful. I have no hesitation in recommending the Wills & Probate Team at Martin Tolhurst. Thank you Sarah, Karolina & all of the rest of the team.

Probate
We met Sarah last year after unfortunately my Dad passed away. Both my brother and myself found Sarah very professonal and she always kept us informed with emails or telephone calls. We were just sorry Sarah did not deal with the conveyancing of the sale of our Dad's house. Unfortunately it had to go to a different department. I did not find the solicitor who dealt with this part of the process very approachable and we never got to meet her.

Great service
Used the Martin Tolhurst Team to deal with my Aunts Estate which involved selling a house, dealing with probate, registering the property with land registry and final distribution to beneficiaries. A number of issues arose which the team handled very professionally and always kept us well informed. Would not hesitate to use them again.

Wills and Probate
Excellent service as always.
Our family has used Martin Tolhurst for many generations covering just about every dept over the years.
This time we have been supported by Sarah Begley (Wills and Probate) again
excellent work, kept informed/consulted appropriately and completed in a timely manner. Very approachable team and sensitive to the issue. It made a huge difference and relief having a very competent team guiding and completing everything during a sad and busy time.
Highly recommend them.
