This area covers how an estate is handled after someone dies, including who inherits under a will or the rules of intestacy, and how the estate is administered by executors or administrators. A solicitor practising in State Succession helps with applying for probate or a letter of administration, collecting assets, paying liabilities, disposing of property, and distributing assets to beneficiaries, while navigating taxes, trusts, and any disputes. It may also involve planning to minimise future liabilities and addressing challenges to a will.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the probate or administration process, identifies beneficiaries, obtains the grant of representation, collects assets, pays liabilities and legacies, files relevant tax returns, manages inheritances through trusts where relevant, and resolves disputes among potential heirs or against the will. They liaise with executors, trustees, beneficiaries, tax authorities, and financial institutions, and ensure compliance with applicable law and court procedures.

Tagged solicitor Gareth Owen Long

He made a really stressful and upsetting time so much easier for me by explaining every letter that came through in detail and the whole court process. Thank you for listening to every concern I had and making sure myself as well as my child’s feelings were taken into consideration with the whole process. I couldn’t recommend you enough to any anxious parent like myself or parent in general just wanting the best outcome for their child.

I used Jasmine for my will and she was really helpful. There were things I hadn’t thought of to put in the will. Jasmine explained everything and helped me to understand all the legal jargon. I would definitely recommend Feakes and Co
