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.
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.

Tagged solicitor Sarah Babajee
Sarah Babajee handled the administration of my late father's estate. Although a named executor along side my siblings, my brother was appointed with powers reserved so my direct involvement with Sarah and the firm was limited. Despite this, I requested to be kept updated throughout the entire process and this was done at regular intervals which kept me well informed and at ease. The updates were thorough with clear use of language and terms, explanatory and easy to understand. I am pleased with the service and outcome.
