Appearance in wills, trusts and probate work covers the act of attending court or a tribunal on probate matters, such as applying for grants of representation, contesting a will, or resolving disputes about trusts or executries. A solicitor in this area represents the client at hearings, negotiates disputes, and handles submissions, evidence, and witness examination to progress the case. These proceedings may involve the Probate Registry, the High Court, or county courts, depending on the nature and value of the claim.

“We were very impressed with the whole setup of Sweeney Miller and especially with Faraz who was friendly and professional also. The costs were discussed before the process started and didn't change throughout. The process of making the will was explained from the start and was straightforward. In the final meeting, Faraz explained the will point by point and we were in no doubt about matters.”
