This area covers selling a deceased person’s property as part of administering their estate, once a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration has been obtained. A solicitor handles valuing and marketing the home, negotiating with buyers, arranging probate or estate accounts, and coordinating with the executors or beneficiaries. They ensure rights of way, leases, or tenants are dealt with, and they manage transfers of title through the Land Registry, paying any inheritance tax and distributing proceeds in line with the will or law.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The sale may affect inheritance tax and the ability to settle the estate; delays can impact beneficiaries and deadlines set by probate fees or property-related liabilities. A solicitor protects the executors’ position by ensuring a proper title transfer, adherence to probate requirements, and accurate account handling, with regulatory oversight and professional indemnity coverage.
