Estate Administration and acquiring the Grant of Probate

Our experience, after having instructed the team at Blanchards Bailey to assist us through the process of estate administration and acquiring the Grant of Probate for a deceased family member, was very positive indeed. At every stage the staff were exceptionally helpful and approachable. Each enquiry and request, no matter how trivial, was answered courteously and quickly. As a result of the professional expertise and efficiency of the team looking after us we were able to move through the process at pace.

Grant of Probate

There is much paperwork to be done after a death which I was happy to produce however when it came to submitting it to the Court I handed the file over to Duncan. The application to the Court was made and the Grant of Probate issued in a matter of two or three weeks. I would not hesitate to recommend the services of Blanchard Bailey.

Will writing

Listened to what I wanted, which was included and acted upon. Produced a draft and accepted a small amendment, which was appeared in the final document. The Will was signed and witnessed without delay.

Highly professional support from dispute to mediation

I am incredibly grateful to Lucy Mignot for her perfect representation during a very difficult inheritance dispute. From the very beginning, she provided excellent legal advice and managed the case with outstanding professionalism. Thanks to her expertise and strong guidance leading up to and during the mediation, we achieved a fantastic resolution. I felt supported and well informed at every stage. I highly recommend her services to anyone facing a contested estate matter.

property sale

Karena Harrison and Angie Gillingham have recently completed a property sale on my behalf. It was complicated and long delayed, so it was very reassuring to be given clear, friendly, honest guidance throughout the process!

Brook met with us to discuss a situation regarding land and access that may lead to a dispute. She had clearly researched our fairly complicated situation very well which made the meeting efficient and constructive.
