Law firms ranked by client reviews

Probate Instructions covers arranging and guiding the process of applying for a grant of probate after a death, and administering the estate in England. A solicitor in this area drafts or reviews the probate papers, helps identify the executor(s), collects and values assets, settles Inheritance Tax and other liabilities, contacts banks and beneficiaries, and registers the grant with the Probate Registry. They also provide practical steps for dealing with estate assets, debts and distribution in line with the deceased’s will or the rules of intestacy.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The process hinges on time-sensitive steps such as notifying HMRC, obtaining the Grant of Probate, and distributing assets. A solicitor ensures the correct forms are completed, handles any challenges or disputes, and coordinates with executors and beneficiaries to protect the estate from missteps, delays, or misdelivery of funds.

Ali has been fantastic. We previously went to another company who prepared our Wills and Powers of Attorney. The documents were incorrect and the service was awful. We were recommended Slater Heelis and in particular Ali. Ali gave us detailed advice and prepared new documents. The communication was great and everything was completed quickly. Thank you, Ali.

Umar Khan FCCA

Tagged solicitor Umar Khan FCCA

Following the passing of our mother, my family and I instructed Umar Khan FCCA, Senior Estate Planner at Farani Taylor Solicitors, to handle the probate and administration of her estate. Having recently obtained the Grant of Probate, I would like to recognise the exceptional service we have received. Umar combines deep technical knowledge of probate, inheritance tax and estate administration with a meticulous, methodical approach. He explained complex legal and financial processes with clarity and patience, and his sound judgement and attention to detail have been invaluable. Just as importantly, he understood the human side of the work. Dealing with the legal responsibilities of an estate while grieving is difficult, and Umar was compassionate, courteous and respectful throughout, so our family felt supported and treated with dignity. He was always responsive to our questions. Although parts of the administration are still ongoing, we are extremely grateful for his guidance. I would recommend Umar Khan without hesitation to anyone seeking first-class expertise in probate, estate planning or estate administration.

Jasmin Marshall

Tagged solicitor Jasmin Marshall

We have recently used the Mapperley branch to sort out Grant of Probate and will also be using them for conveyancing. Jasmin Marshall who dealt with the probate was very professional but lovely at the same time. She put us at ease at what was a difficult time for us, and made the whole process much less painful. From start to finish it only took 3 weeks for probate to be granted and during that time we were kept fully informed. I can’t thank Jasmin and the team enough for what they did.
