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.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

Solicitors bring professional safeguards to settling estates, including professional indemnity insurance, adherence to regulatory rules, and oversight of client money. They verify the validity of wills, manage executors’ duties, prepare grant applications, and handle estate accounts, ensuring compliance with tax and reporting obligations. They can also assist in resolving disputes among beneficiaries and navigating contested probate or trust issues.

Gareth Owen Long

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
