Where a person dies leaving a will, solicitors advise executors on gathering the estate, paying debts and legacies, and applying for the grant of probate. They draft and check the estate accounts, liaise with HM Revenue & Customs and the Probate Registry, identify beneficiaries, and handle claims against the estate. They also navigate deadlines, fiduciary duties and, where relevant, disputes, ensuring assets are distributed in accordance with the will and the law.
“I am selling a house as an executor for a deceased relative, so it has been a busy as well as a sad time. So far into the process Lyons Bowe solicitors have been helpful friendly considerate and communicative.”

“As executor to the above estate I engaged Poole Alcock to act on my behalf. I had already had considerable help from Charles Smalley in dealing with David's legal and financial affairs and thought him ideal to finalise what was a financially large and complex matter. David had been suffering from Alzheimer's which also raised extra complications. I was very happy with the professional service I received throughout.”

“Vicky and the team have been excellent, during one of the most difficult times of an unexpected family bereavement dealing with my fathers estate. As executor I would have been overwhelming had it not been for Vicky and Paris Smith Solicitors. They have been my family’s solicitor for many years, and we have never been disappointed with them. But this time, with some complex things to work through in the administration, Vicky was patient, compassionate and made things incredibly simple. I can thoroughly recommend her and her team for any legal requirements. They were our family solicitors when we lived in Southampton, but we all moved to Cumbria some years ago, and even with the significant distance involved, working with them was easy and progress was rapid. I am very grateful to Vicky especially.”

Advising Executors
Where a person dies leaving a will, solicitors advise executors on gathering the estate, paying debts and legacies, and applying for the grant of probate. They draft and check the estate accounts, liaise with HM Revenue & Customs and the Probate Registry, identify beneficiaries, and handle claims against the estate. They also navigate deadlines, fiduciary duties and, where relevant, disputes, ensuring assets are distributed in accordance with the will and the law.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The grant of probate is a decisive, time‑sensitive step. A solicitor helps the executor meet the legal duties, prepare and submit the necessary papers, address Inheritance Tax and other liabilities, and keep detailed, auditable records to protect the executor from personal liability if a mistake occurs.
