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.

Alicia Nesham

Tagged solicitor Alicia Nesham

An initial meeting was held where we requested Mrs Nesham to produce mirrored Wills for myself and my wife. The details of the Wills were discussed in depth, guidance offered by Mrs Nesham, and agreement reached on their final content. A further meeting was held to review the wills produced, which were then signed and witnessed. We have subsequently received copies of the wills.
