Legacies covers the gifts left in a will, and the broader work of handling a person’s Will, estate and final affairs after death. A solicitor practising in this area drafts, reviews and validates Wills and codicils, identifies bequests (legacies), and helps executors collect and distribute assets in accordance with the Will. They also apply for the grant of probate or letters of administration, identify potential inheritance tax issues, and communicate with beneficiaries, creditors and the Probate Registry to wind the estate up lawfully and efficiently.
The moment a will or estate plan is made, crucial decisions and deadlines can affect rights and asset distribution. A solicitor provides protection by guiding the executor through probate, securing the right of representation, and ensuring compliance with the Inheritance Tax regime and court procedures. They help with safeguarding assets, resolving disputes between beneficiaries, and managing the orderly distribution of legacies within the time limits set by law.

Blacks Solicitors were really great in assisting me to sell my late sister’s bungalow. Amy was very helpful and professional, happy to explain parts of the contracts I was unfamiliar with and the sale went through smoothly. I would recommend.

I needed to update my will fairly sharpish and this firm were extremely helpful. My solicitor explained all the terminology and helped with every change I needed to make and offered suggestions of what could be done for my particular circumstances. Thank you.
