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.

I would like to congratulate Clare for being so kind and helpful when my husband died last year. I found that she was very helpful with all the paperwork entailed as well. Also her assistant Marie helped me as well. Thanks to both of them and the ladies on the desk.

Curwens was recommended by a friend and I have been extremely happy with the service I have received. Anne Stennett and her team are knowledgeable, supportive and friendly. I am very grateful for their efficient service and swift conclusion to the grant of probate after my husband died. I would definitely go to Curwens again and would recommend them to others.

Scott supported me when I urgently needed to make a new Will and update to my Power of Attorney . His caring and professional approach at a time of great stress for me was much appreciated. The new documents were drafted and signed within just a few days.

Beverly Davison

Tagged solicitor Beverly Davison

I have just completed on the sale of my Mother's house through Power of Attorney. It has been a difficult journey for me - practically and emotionally. Selling a home that I have never lived in via a few files of old paperwork that my Father left behind when he died was tricky. My mother has dementia and was unable to fill in any knowledge gaps. Beverly was available throughout the process to guide, reassure and listen. I cannot thank her enough for coming up with solutions to legal challenges and supporting me through a very tough time.

Robyn MacNeil

Tagged solicitor Robyn MacNeil

We entrusted W&AS Bruce to prepare Wills and Powers of Attorney for both my wife and me. The whole process was handled very efficiently from start to finish, with sincere thanks to Robyn MacNeil. Additionally, we received clarification on behalf of my mum regarding her own Will and the full extent of her long standing Power of Attorney, which she had been unsure about. It was reassuring for her to know that everything was as she expected and that all documents were securely held. Legal matters can often be time consuming and complicated, but with the help of Robyn and the staff at W&AS Bruce, we felt we were treated with courtesy and respect throughout, and the whole process was far easier than we anticipated. We would happily recommend the services of Robyn and the solicitors as a whole to any prospective clients.
