    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.

    “As a family who has recently lost our mum, having the support of Charlotte to guide us was invaluable. Myself and two brothers have never been in this situation before and you just hear people talk about 'probate' we were going into this blind and with lots of mixed messages and confusion. Charlotte explained the process clearly and in lay mans terms, we were given time to ask any questions and her answers gave us so much confidence in her ability to help us at this difficult time. Charlotte informed us of step by step actions and we were able to contact her if and when we needed to. It has been a very smooth process and Charlotte showed us all empathy and compassion, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her.”
