    This area covers death-related matters under English law, including probate, administration of estates, and the distribution of assets after someone dies. A solicitor in this field advises executors and administrators, prepares and submits grant applications for probate or letters of administration, gathers and values the deceased’s assets, pays debts and taxes, and oversees the transfer of property to beneficiaries. They also help with intestacy planning, catch-up for tax liabilities, and dealing with banks, government bodies, and insurers on behalf of the estate.

    “I could not find the documentation pertaining to me power of attorney and the person who originally drew it up was uncontactable. Ann Farnill took on the case and also chased up my funeral plan, advised me to update my will and retrieved the Power of Attorney documentation. I have hearing difficulties and Ann made sure that I had understood everything and put it all in writing for me. I would highly recommend Rotheras Solicitors.”

    “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.”
