    Fixed Fee Probates covers obtaining a grant of probate or confirmation on a fixed-price basis, where the solicitor manages the estate administration within an agreed fee. A solicitor in this area drafts and files the necessary forms, gathers the deceased’s assets and liabilities, and handles tax issues such as inheritance tax where applicable. They also appoints executors, communicates with beneficiaries, and oversees the collection and distribution of assets in line with the will and law. The fixed fee arrangement is designed to cap the professional charges for these steps.

    “Our family circumstances were such that we had to liaise with this firm from a distance, however this was no barrier or problematic. From the outset our dealings with their staff were excellent - professional, knowledgeable, extremely helpful organised and very approachable and friendly. It was refreshing to be able to speak directly to the relevant solicitor and be kept up to date with progress. We would certainly recommend them both for estate issues and conveyancing.”

    “My wife and I dealt with solicitor, Alex Spurr and we have nothing but praise for the clear and concise way he guided us through the writing of our wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney. We agonized about what would happen in different circumstances if one of us passed away, but Alex was able to explain in simple terms the legal outcomes. He is friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and efficient and we have have no hesitation in recommending him and his business.”
