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.

We recently engaged Nick O'Sullivan to provide us with estate planning and wills. He spent time to understand us and help us understand what we need and how to protect ourselves and our family in future life. We can't recommend the firm enough!

Tagged solicitor Lucy McKenna
Lucy was extremely professional and used great communication throughout my time with her working on my case. She was always ready to listen and took on board all of my decisions with great care. The service was quick and I was always informed if every step and actions taken. I can't recommend her highly enough and when would be my first port of call, if I needed her devices again. A pleasure working with her and her company through a very difficult time.

Sandy understood my financial situation, picked up on what my previous solicitor needs to do, and was able to explain the actions that I need to take now. I finally feel that control of my late Mum's estate will be in safe hands.
