This area covers what happens after someone dies, including dealing with the valid will, if there is one, and administering the estate. A solicitor helps identify executors, locate and interpret the will, gather assets, settle debts, pay the deceased’s taxes, and distribute assets to beneficiaries under the Probate Registry process. They may prepare and lodge probate papers, advise on trust administration, and handle claims against the estate or challenges to the will. The work can shape how much is received and who inherits what, and when the assets are released.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor handles the complex steps of collecting the deceased’s assets, paying liabilities, applying for probate, valuing estates, and navigating potential disputes among beneficiaries. They also prepare accounts for the Probate Registry, assist with trusts, and coordinate with executors, beneficiaries, lenders, and tax authorities to ensure lawful, orderly administration.

Amy MacWhirter

Tagged solicitor Amy MacWhirter

Amy and her trainee, Charlie, were very welcoming and sympathetic at a difficult time in my life. They guided me through the probate requirements, following my husband's unexpected death, with patience and sympathy. Nothing was too much trouble for them and I always felt that I could ask them anything and that I would receive an honest and fair answer. They were friendly and I felt completely at ease when discussing personal matters with them. I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends.

Thank you again for a wonderful service with the added bonus of a house visit.

I’d like to thank Ashley for his help in the handling of my dad’s estate. He had such a friendly demeanour and was extremely knowledgeable and patient when we asked questions. He made our family feel at ease during such a challenging time and helped us to understand things that we never would have known about without his advice and support.

Fakhruddin Maimoon

Tagged solicitor Fakhruddin Maimoon

I am glad that Mr Maimoon (Ali) was my appointed solicitor for the probate case. Going through bereavement was hard, but Ali and Slater Heelis managed to handle most of the affairs re the application of probate and helping to guide me through my responsibilities as an executor of the will. The process was smooth and efficient. I felt I was taken care of with great skill, professionalism and understanding. Would highly recommend Ali and request further legal services again in the future when necessary.

Jasmin Marshall

Tagged solicitor Jasmin Marshall

We have recently used the Mapperley branch to sort out Grant of Probate and will also be using them for conveyancing. Jasmin Marshall who dealt with the probate was very professional but lovely at the same time. She put us at ease at what was a difficult time for us, and made the whole process much less painful. From start to finish it only took 3 weeks for probate to be granted and during that time we were kept fully informed. I can’t thank Jasmin and the team enough for what they did.
