A solicitor in this field drafts and lodges probate applications, inventories assets, negotiates with banks and HMRC, settles tax liabilities, collects assets, pays debts and legacies, and prepares estate accounts for beneficiaries or executors. It can involve challenging or complex issues such as disputed wills, missing beneficiaries, or claims under life policies and trusts.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

Rachel Keegan

Tagged solicitor Rachel Keegan

Solicitor Rachel Keegan helped me at the most devastating time of my life. My husband suddenly passed away at a time when he had appeared to be fit and healthy, so it was an absolute shock. We had no children, so I was totally alone in the aftermath, and didn't know how to deal with my husband's estate. Someone recommended Fiona Bruce Solicitors to me, and Rachel was chosen as my probate solicitor. I cannot express enough how incredible she has been throughout it all. There were times when we hit brick walls, yet even though I suggested leaving those parts unsolved, Rachel carried on pushing through, searching, ringing people and companies to get to the root of things. She subsequently solved every problem as it appeared, and knocked down each brick wall. I sometimes didn't understand certain legal jargon, but Rachel had the patience to explain clearly each term and phrase to help me. Nothing was too difficult for her. She was determined to get me through the most difficult time of my life, and sympathised completely with my deep emotions of bereavement. I could not have coped without her, and I am truly thankful to her for dealing with my husband's complicated estate on my behalf. There are people who help us through times of despair, and we never forget them. I shall definitely never forget Rachel Keegan of Fiona Bruce Solicitors.

Lea Maynard

Tagged solicitor Lea Maynard

Following the death of my husband, I was faced with the issues of dealing with transferring title of our jointly held French property (a very small house) into my name only and subsequently the sale of the house. I had no knowledge of the stages involved or how to approach them. These difficulties were compounded by a very unresponsive Notaire in France. Lea came to my rescue, explained the process and various stages involved and undertook the negotiations with the Notaire. It transpired to be a long process (although I now understand that it is inevitably much longer than in the UK) but Lea chased and followed up with the Notaire, resulting in a successful transfer of title and sale. This help and advice was invaluable. Always professional but kind, understanding and empathetic. Someone on whom I could rely. With my sincere thanks to Lea and to Buckles.

I found Rebecca Minns to be very helpful and professional. She clearly explained various aspects of updating my will. Changes were made and a few weeks later I was able to go into the office to have the will signed and witnessed. I was very happy with the service I received.

Jay Marsh

Tagged solicitor Jay Marsh

From the moment we met Jay Marsh-Gasson we felt assured that he had the expertise to deal with my late brother’s estate. Having never been an executor or applied for probate, and with added complication of money banked abroad, I felt poorly prepared to deal with the will and in an emotional state due to my brothers sudden death. Jay gave me an estimated price for the work to be done and commenced work immediately. Not only was the business completed quickly but also at less than the original estimate. I highly recommend the practice.
