This work covers estates where debts exceed assets and there is not enough to pay all creditors. A solicitor helps identify assets, notify creditors, apply for probate or letters of administration, and realise assets to settle debts in the correct order. They draft and file the necessary forms, communicate with executors and beneficiaries, and liaise with insolvency practitioners or the probate registry when needed. The aim is to achieve a lawful distribution of what remains, within a formal insolvency framework.
Insolvent estates involve tracing assets, paying preferential claims, and calculating how much can be distributed to creditors or beneficiaries. The solicitor handles reporting to the court, coordinating with the Insolvency Service or official receivers where applicable, and navigating any creditor challenges, misfeasance concerns, or tax matters that affect the distribution.

I was lucky enough to be recommended Capa Law. I found it very easy to deal with all the staff. Jessie was my conveyor to sell my late mother’s house, she done a great job and communicated with the other solicitors I had representing me during probate.

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.

Kate was extremely helpful dealing with my late mother's estate. As the executor of the estate I needed to change a number of things, Kate guided me through the process and dealt with all my questions very quickly. I have no hesitation in recommending Kate Rutherford.
