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.

Philip Collins

Tagged solicitor Philip Collins

Philip Collins and Jessica Whooley have been exceptional throughout my time with them as a client. After a lengthy and intense Will dispute, Phil and Jess have both worked endlessly and proactively to get a 2 year long settlement over the line. Not only are their legal skills greatly appreciated but what sets them apart is the duty of care they show to their clients. Not only is a process like this financially draining (which they were very mindful of), but also emotionally draining. Jess and Phil were always available to clarify any concerns or listen to my frustrations and act upon them in a rational and professional manner. It really is refreshing to work with solicitors that truly have your best interest at heart and show as much levels of empathy as Jess and Phil have in such a tough industry. Would highly recommend!

Annmarie Jones steered my wife and I thought the complexities of will and trust construction ensuring we had an optimal structure to benefit our children. Working with Annmarie was a joy, whilst Annmarie is a consummate professional she also remains a truly empathetic individual and sympathetic to ones individual position. We highly recomend her.
