Succession covers what happens to a person’s estate when they die, including wills, intestacy, and the steps to collect and distribute assets. A solicitor in this area helps clients prepare or challenge wills, apply for a grant of probate or letters of administration, value the estate for inheritance tax, and oversee the administration of the estate, including distributing assets to beneficiaries. They also handle matters such as executors’ duties, trust provisions, and disputes over entitlement or legitimacy of gifts, as well as advising on potential claims against estates. This work shapes how an estate is settled and can influence tax positions and final distributions.

What Succession clients highlight
“We needed to revise our Wills in the light of changes in the tax laws and our circumstances. We chose J & P because they were both local and seemed to have very good reviews. It was a very good choice. We used the services of Russell Ali at their Sidcup office. Our Wills involved the setting up of a Trust the details of which Russell explained to us at some length. Russell was of course very knowledgeable but also very likeable and easy to talk to. We asked lots of questions but despite it being a fixed price arrangement, at no time did we feel rushed. Within a few days we received draft Wills which were accompanied by an extremely useful side letter explaining each clause in plain English. We then raised a number of email queries which were dealt with promptly. At the end of the exercise we were very happy to sign our new Wills feeling confident we had achieved our original objectives. We would definitely use J & P, and Russell in particular, again.”
