Bereavement services in England cover administering an deceased person’s estate, including obtaining a grant of probate or letters of administration, collecting assets, settling debts, and distributing the remainder to beneficiaries. A solicitor drafts and submits the application for probate, inventories assets, communicates with banks and other institutions, and negotiates any Inheritance Tax issues, acting for executors or beneficiaries as appropriate. The work may also involve advising on trusts, lifetime gifts and post-death registrations.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The process hinges on time-sensitive steps such as applying for probate, appraising the estate, and settling tax liabilities; delays can affect beneficiaries and incur penalties. A solicitor protects your position by ensuring properly executed filings, safeguarding asset transfers, and maintaining clear records to support distributions and potential disputes.

Philip Collins

Tagged solicitor Philip Collins

Philip Collins and Jessica Whooley have been exceptional throughout my time with them as a client. After a lengthy and intense Will dispute, Phil and Jess have both worked endlessly and proactively to get a 2 year long settlement over the line. Not only are their legal skills greatly appreciated but what sets them apart is the duty of care they show to their clients. Not only is a process like this financially draining (which they were very mindful of), but also emotionally draining. Jess and Phil were always available to clarify any concerns or listen to my frustrations and act upon them in a rational and professional manner. It really is refreshing to work with solicitors that truly have your best interest at heart and show as much levels of empathy as Jess and Phil have in such a tough industry. Would highly recommend!
