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.

We valued the personal contact which enabled us us to be perfectly frank. We also valued the prompt action to expedite the process by email after the Royal Mail let us down. The office staff were especially helpful in this.

Acton Afonso

Tagged solicitor Acton Afonso

I want to thank Acton Afonso for his thoroughness and speed in handling my uncle’s case. We needed a will properly drafted and signed asap and Acton was prompt to execute everything we needed. He made himself very available to liaise with during a very stressful time. His communications were prompt. And my uncle was extremely pleased with his service when he met him. My uncle can be very particular, so the fact he was very happy with Acton’s conduct is a testament to his work ethic. 5/5 stars for positive manner, knowledge, speed and very clear communication. If the company offers any bonuses for their solicitors I’m personally asking that they give him the upper tier of whatever bonuses are available. I do customer service work so I know when someone is doing their role and when they are going above and beyond. Acton has gone above and beyond and I imagine that I will be requesting his services in the near future.
