    Estate processing covers administering a deceased person’s affairs after death, including obtaining a grant of representation, collecting assets, paying debts and liabilities, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries. A solicitor in this area may prepare and lodge probate or letters of administration, value and transfer assets, deal with banks, HMRC for any inheritance tax or income tax issues, and resolve claims from creditors or beneficiaries. The work is shaped by the size and complexity of the estate and any lifetime gifts or trusts involved.

    “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.”

    “We went to Karen after an intestate death. Karen explained everything sympathetically, clearly, in understandable terms and told us what needed to be done to untangle it. The process went smoothly with Karen keeping us informed regularly and accurately. The issues were solved and the estate settled to everyone's satisfaction. Throughout everything Karen was professional, very approachable, always had time for our questions and made everything run smoothly. We definitely recommend FJG and Karen.”

She could not have been kinder, more helpful, efficient plus patient in what what should have been straightforward and turned out to become a complicated situation. 6 months after my sister's death, my brother her Executor, was hospitalised, placed in a Care home where he remains, and which Kirsty visited on several occasions. We are extremely grateful for the support she gave us throughout this prolongued and difficult time.”
