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.
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.

Negar provided outstanding service from start to finish. She made the entire process clear, reassuring, and incredibly professional. Her attention to detail and her ability to explain everything simply gave me complete confidence. A solicitor who genuinely goes above and beyond — highly recommended.

Tagged solicitor Abbi Hancock
I cannot thank Abbi enough for the support and professionalism she showed while helping me deal with matters relating to my late father’s estate. This has been an incredibly emotional and difficult time for me, but Abbi handled everything with great care, patience, and understanding. Her guidance throughout the process was clear, reassuring, and highly professional. She took the time to explain things properly and was always responsive whenever I had questions or needed reassurance. Her compassion and respectful approach made a situation that felt overwhelming much easier to manage. I am truly grateful for the help and support she provided and would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone needing a knowledgeable, reliable, and empathetic legal professional.

Really appreciated the support and guidance from Rachel, not just able to provide honest and clear guidance but was really just able to listen when I think that was what I needed the most. My concerns were treated compassionately and with empathy whilst giving me the direction I needed to move forward and I feel that I am back in control now. Thank you, cannot recommend highly enough!

David and Claire were extremely helpful in administering my mother’s Grant of Probate. From our initial meeting with David, who explained the process and advised on our situation, to Claire, who responded quickly to any queries and was very efficient in finalising this matter for us. Many thanks.
