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.

“I cannot recommend Marjorie Creek and Richard Nelson LLP highly enough. Marjorie supported me through an incredibly difficult and prolonged period, and I will always be deeply grateful that I had her in my corner. Her knowledge, experience and professional judgement were invaluable, but what made such a difference was the genuine compassion, kindness and reassurance she showed throughout. During a situation that was often extremely challenging, knowing that I could turn to Marjorie for clear advice, support and guidance gave me enormous reassurance. She was always approachable, responsive and there when I needed her, acting promptly and professionally while never losing the human touch. I always felt that she genuinely cared about my situation and was committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. It is difficult to put into words just how much her support meant during that time. Marjorie is an exceptional professional and a genuinely compassionate person, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing knowledgeable, trustworthy and supportive legal representation.”

“David is a friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable solicitor. He is a clear, effective communicator in a potentially complex environment. David kept things simple as much as possible and only used legal jargon when necessary and clearly explained all legal related matters. David provided a balanced approach to our situation, highlighting the pros and cons, subsequently recommending the best options for us, both financially and legally going forward. His relevant correspondence to us and 3rd parties was clear and precise using, what we thought was the correct terminology in the right context. There were very few delays, if there were it was due to non action of 3rd parties, but David would keep us updated on a regular basis.”

“My wife and I have in recent months engaged Richard into our Inheritance planning, he made what is quite a complex area very understandable. We have used Richard's services to amend our Wills, create LPA's and LFA's and finally create 2 Trusts with Deeds of Variation. I'm sure we will need more advice in this area in future.”
