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.

Tagged solicitor Philip Collins
Philip Collins and Jessica Whooley have been exceptional throughout my time with them as a client. After a lengthy and intense Will dispute, Phil and Jess have both worked endlessly and proactively to get a 2 year long settlement over the line. Not only are their legal skills greatly appreciated but what sets them apart is the duty of care they show to their clients. Not only is a process like this financially draining (which they were very mindful of), but also emotionally draining. Jess and Phil were always available to clarify any concerns or listen to my frustrations and act upon them in a rational and professional manner. It really is refreshing to work with solicitors that truly have your best interest at heart and show as much levels of empathy as Jess and Phil have in such a tough industry. Would highly recommend!

Tagged solicitor David Mulholland
We contacted Sherrards for assistance with a Lifetime Will Trust in respect of my late father's estate. David Mulholland was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. He took us through the registration process step by step. Any queries we had were dealt with promptly and satisfactorily, and the matter has now been concluded. We would definitely recommend.
