    Probate covers arranging the winding up of a deceased person’s estate, including applying for the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, collecting assets, paying debts, and distributing what remains to beneficiaries. A solicitor in this area drafts and authenticates the necessary documents, identifies the estate’s liabilities, handles inheritance tax where needed, liaises with executors and beneficiaries, and guides clients through court procedures if contested or complex. The work is shaped by the estate size, tax rules, and asset types.
