Probate and Inheritance Tax Processes

Following the death of our mother, we sought advice, guidance, and help with the probate and potential inheritance tax processes... We were not disappointed. From start to finish, Nelissa Hicks and Rothera Bray solicitors have provided a super-professional and speedy service. We'd recommend anyone, regardless of position and requirements to your needs, engage with them at the earliest opportunity, as we will do so again in the future.

Excellent experience!

Rothera Bray took over from WBB during probate, up to that point, everything had taken so long and trying to get to speak with my solicitor was almost impossible. Once Rothera Bray took the reins it was an incredible change for the better!

Handling of parent's estates

Both my parents used Nelissa Hicks to make their wills. They have both now passed away and Nelissa handled the complicated estates with kindness and remarkable hard work. I would definitely recommend her.

Probate and conveyancing

Following the sad loss of my mother we sort the professional services of Rothera Bray in particular Nelissa Hicks. Since our very first face to face meeting with Nelissa and her colleague both my husband and I felt confident and thoroughly informed of the process we were now undertaking. We were contacted regularly with updates and any query raised was dealt with by Nelissa immediately. This gave us peace of mind at a difficult time. We were so impressed with the team at Rothera Bray that we are using their conveyancing department for a house sale too which has proved to us the professionalism is throughout the company. I would highly recommend this company if you need sound advice from a pro active, trustworthy solicitor.

Nelissa Hicks was kind, understanding, professional and efficient.

Experiencing a sudden death of a family member who lived over 500 miles away and who turned out to be intestate, was a very stressful time. Nelissa Hicks at Rothera Bray Mapperley offered her services at very short notice. She was calm, kind and gave me a full understanding of the legal process necessary to wind up an intestate estate. I fully recommend her as a probate/intestate lawyer and wish her all the very best for the future.

Rothera Bray Solicitors Loughborough; On a number of occasions I have asked Nelissa Hicks (Partner) to be my legal representative, she delivers with professional conduct, is thorough in all matters and a great communicator. She gets things done in a timely manner and she is a very nice person. I highly recommend Nelissa & Rothera Bray Solicitors, Loughborough for their legal support & services.

As a former solicitor of many years' standing, I have very high expectations when consulting solicitors as a client. Some years ago, Nelissa Hicks completed a very complex probate matter for us, so when we needed a probate solicitor again recently we were delighted that she was also available to act for us this time. She is extremely knowledgeable and skilled and always pays close attention to detail. She is also super-efficient and responsive, extremely personable, and she has boundless energy and enthusiasm for her work. Absolutely superb service - thank you so much!

Nelissa Hicks dealt with our probate application for my mother’s estate. She was diligent, efficient and infinitely trustworthy. I appreciated her candour but she was also empathetic. I can’t recommend them enough.
