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.

I have used NM Legal for updating my will and POA. No issues, all staff are knowledgable and friendly. Had previous experience of another law firm who did not have that experience and everything took multiple phone calls. I would thoroughly recommend NM Legal to anyone in need of services they provide. Staff friendly, nothing too much bother and most of all confident and know exactly what they are doing. Knowledge and service exceptional.
