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.
The solicitor’s role concentrates on securing the estate by applying for the correct grant (probate or administration), identifying heirs, and ensuring timely payment of liabilities, debts and taxes. They ensure proper distribution of assets under the will or intestacy rules, and manage key steps such as asset realisation, safeguarding bank accounts and title to property, and coordinating with executors, trustees or beneficiaries as required.

We had an online meeting for half an hour or so. This was really helpful and informative in helping us to put our wills together. The communication from Mancini’s was really quick and efficient and we conducted the whole matter far more easily than we had anticipated!

Easy and professional service from end to end. I made contact and got an initial appointment within a few days. The engagement felt very personal to us rather than a prescribed approach you often get with larger organisations. Our wills were then prepared and signed within a week! Would recommend to all.

We have received excellent service from Dovaston Law. All our enquiries and concerns were dealt with quickly and efficiently and we were updated on events as they happened so that we were always aware of situations that we were required to attend to and that they had dealt with.. We would have every confidence in recommending them and thank them for their help and professional attitude.
