Probate work covers the lawful handling of someone’s estate after death, including obtaining a grant of probate or letters of administration, valuing assets, paying debts, and distributing assets to beneficiaries under a will or intestacy rules. A solicitor in this area drafts and prepares the necessary forms, negotiates with executors and beneficiaries, collects documents from banks and HMRC, and liaises with the Probate Registry and other authorities to ensure a valid, orderly settlement.
The solicitor manages complex steps such as verifying the will, obtaining the grant of probate or letters of administration, asset valuation, dealing with outstanding debts and taxes, and resolving potential disputes among beneficiaries. They coordinate with banks, HMRC, and the Probate Registry, prepare estate accounts, and oversee distributions in accordance with the will or intestacy rules, ensuring regulatory compliance and accurate record-keeping.

It was so reassuring to have an experienced solicitor dealing with the Grant of Probate for my father, during this difficult time. I felt in safe hands with Monika, she is professional and approachable, and I would highly recommend using Winston Solicitors.

Tagged solicitor Rebecca Beaumont
From start to finish Forbes have been amazing. I have never dealt with a probate before and I was very nervous and extremely emotional when this process started and first talked to Rebecca B about it all. She has been outstanding and so supportive throughout it all and I can't thank her enough for just being there whenever I needed her. Thank you so much Rebecca. Equally Melanie has been superb with the whole process and always got back to me with all the questions I had, of which there were many. I was always reassured by her and wish her well-thank you so much Melanie. Last but certainly not least Hayley what a superstar, always available, always got back to me and answered all my many questions even if I repeated myself. Thank you! I look forward to the final leg with Rebecca S. I will go into the new year feeling a lot better than I have for the past couple of years, it has been a journey and you have all made it so much more bearable. Thank you and have a wonderful Christmas and new year beautiful ladies xxxxx

Tagged solicitor Jasmin Marshall
We have recently used the Mapperley branch to sort out Grant of Probate and will also be using them for conveyancing. Jasmin Marshall who dealt with the probate was very professional but lovely at the same time. She put us at ease at what was a difficult time for us, and made the whole process much less painful. From start to finish it only took 3 weeks for probate to be granted and during that time we were kept fully informed. I can’t thank Jasmin and the team enough for what they did.

After the decision to make a will- thank goodness we went to Howells & saw Melodie. She was so lovely, efficient, professional and very mindful while dealing with a very personal delicate subject. Very happy with the easy way the wills were done & I will highly recommend this firm and the way Melodie put us at ease and answered lots of questions putting us at ease. Thank you again for a wonderful service with the added bonus of a house visit.

My opinion is you provided a good service, good communication (verbena & email). I would change my rating to 5 if the length of time is only due to finding the will and house documents.

I am very pleased I instructed Jade to prepare my Will. She carefully advised me throughout the process and was particularly helpful with the Trust fund I now have in place. Jade contacted me during a difficult time and made the process much easier by explaining everything to me in layman’s terms. Would recommend the service to everyone needing to have a Will prepared.
